Why are these homeowners smiling? They've just delivered a petition with 3,500 signatures to their local elected officials calling for better solar incentives in their city!

Building the renewable energy movement from the ground up!

We know that most Americans would produce their own clean local energy if it were easy and affordable. We don’t tell you why you should want it. We tell you ­how to get it. We show you who figured it out, and how they did it. We connect you to news and tools to help make it happen on your home, in your town, on your farm, on your church, or on your school.

Tell us what you want to know. Share your projects, success stories and challenges. As more of us join the network, we get stronger and are better able to build more homegrown clean energy.

In the next few months we expect to cover subjects such as:

  • Solar soft costs
  • Solar rights
  • Solar communities

We want to hear from you! Contact: aschoolman@ases.org.


TOOLS FOR ACTION – UNDERSTANDING YOUR SOLAR MARKET

  109. Looks great to me too Anya! Thanks for your presentation and organizing this. I think you’ve gone a bit beyond “the Neighborhood” now ;) ~ but hey, am not complaining! wish I had some free time to organize a community venture – meanwhile, am nudging all of the people who are the folks likely to seize an opportunity using your info. you go!

  110. What a great initiative! One of the reasons why installing solar is still relatively expensive in the U.S. is because of the high soft costs, partially caused by ineffective permitting in most places. Though obviously there are many more reasons. Let’s get some great projects going in order to make solar (even) more accessible and affordable!
