The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) is hosting the third National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) Annual Summit on January 19, 2023, at the Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego, California. There will also be a virtual option for attendees who cannot attend in person.

This year’s summit theme, ‘Community Solar’s Time to Shine’, reflects how the efforts of NCSP and our partners over the last year, as well as the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), have unlocked a new potential for community solar. We are excited to convene NCSP members, community solar stakeholders, and industry thought leaders to engage in conversations about the new landscape of community solar.

The event will feature plenary sessions and interactive roundtable discussions on topics including new community solar markets, accessible financing, customer acquisition with an emphasis on low-income households, messaging, and access to capital. NCSP will also announce the winners of the Sunny Awards for Equitable Community Solar and new NCSP initiatives.
