IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Solar Market Drivers: Vote Solar advocates for policies that encourage utilities to increase the amount of renewable energy they procure and supply to their customers.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0SShared Solar & Low-Income Access: Vote Solars Community Solar program works to establish the policies and programs necessary to allow renters and other homes, schools and businesses who do not have access to traditional solar on their roofs to be able to invest in an off-site solar system, and receive the economic benefit of their investment. Vote Solars Low Income Solar program seeks to ensure that as we transition to a renewable energy economy, all Americans, especially those with low-incomes, have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from this energy revolution.
