You’ve heard the saying, “All politics is local.” The Solar Foundation with the help of several entities including DOE’s SunShot Initiative launched SolSmart yesterday. SolSmart is about placing advocates for short term roles to advocate positive solar policies. Whether some codes or ordinances need to be adjusted or permitting sorted out, Advisors will be working to lower the soft cost barriers in their own backyard. I can’t think of a better way for excited solar advocates to advise their community leaders on how they can improve. Of course they will be doing this with a great support network behind them. Another great initiative by Solar Foundation and SunShot, two great organizations.
