About this event
Hot on the heels of Sun Day—our first nationwide push for solar power—we’re gathering to recap the highlights and gear up for what’s next: a major campaign to simplify and accelerate rooftop and community solar across the country.
We’ll be joined by clean energy pioneer Jigar Shah to hear how we can drive real progress without waiting on Washington. We’ll also preview our Simplified Solar campaign, aimed at slashing the “soft costs” of solar—permitting, paperwork, and red tape—that make up two-thirds of total installation costs in the U.S.
Learn how you can help change the system in your town and be part of a movement to make solar easier, faster, and more affordable for everyone.
