Resources to Help Local Jurisdictions Encourage Multifamily Solar Installations

|
|
Interested in promoting multifamily rooftop solar in your community? Check out this website: http://www.multifamilysolarca.com. Supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative, it offers resources and assistance to property owners, contractors, and local governments interested in undertaking or encouraging multifamily rooftop solar. It includes a Solar Marketplace that can help property owners easily gather and compare solar quotes. The web site is one part of a three-year project to facilitate the development of more multifamily solar in California, in which SMW attorneys are engaged on behalf of our client, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC). If you have any questions or want to learn more, contact SMW attorney Erica McConnell.
