Solar for low-income of all shapes and sizes
pv-magazine | February 21, 2019
The Low Income Energy Issues Forum has released a new report focused on improving the availability and benefits of community solar for financially-limited customers. The working group identified five different models that can be used to join different ways to best open community solar to customers of all incomes. One of the most popular sentiments in growing the reach of the solar industry is getting limited and low-income customers involved, usually through community or shared-living solar programs. However, not all low-income customers are the same and no two community solar subscription models are the same. And, just like pistons in the engine driving the solar industry, inconsistency and wiggle room can lead to trouble.
