Community Solar and Energy Equity: Policy Levers That Actually Move the Needle

This discussion assesses what’s realistically working—and what isn’t—in efforts to broaden solar access for multifamily and low-to-moderate-income households. With funding programs tightening, the session explores practical tools, policy levers, and community solar models that can deliver meaningful benefits to renters and underserved communities. Speakers will identify structural and financial barriers, as well as strategies to overcome them, and outline how programs can maximize adoption and long-term impact.
