The "Utility Community Solar Handbook: Understanding and Supporting Utility Program Development" provides the utility's perspective on community solar program development and is a resource for government officials, regulators, community organizers, solar energy advocates, non-profits, and interested citizens who want to support their local utilities in implementing projects.
The handbook details the numerous legal, financial, and project design considerations utilities need to address during project development, and provides suggestions for how communities should engage with utilities and support program implementation efforts constructively. Effective implementation covers areas such as stakeholder engagement, infrastructure and supply procurement, and program marketing.
