Vote Solar

Purpose: Create inclusive solar programs for low­-income Californians. The U.S. is in the middle of an energy revolution as solar power—the world’s fastest growing energy source—puts more Americans in charge of their electricity choices. California, with its proud history of clean energy leadership, is leading this charge. However, there remains a need for comprehensive programs and regulations to address the specific financial, locational and market­-gap barriers that prevent low­-income consumers from going solar. In order to unleash solar’s vast potential, the hurdles that exist for low­-income communities and communities of color must be addressed. Solar puts clean power in the hands of people who overwhelmingly support clean energy and climate progress. Unlocking access for approximately 1.9 m low­-income households in California would expand the pool of consumers, which would both catalyze an acceleration in the clean energy revolution, and overall, build a stronger climate movement.
