According to the U.S. Department of Energy,
. . . about 1/2 of all electric customers, can't install solar panels because:
. . . . . . they don't own their building,
. . . . . . don't get enough sun, or
. . . . . . don't have a large, south-facing roof.
Those technical challenges are a particular hurdle for,
. . . low- and middle-income customers.
The White House hosted a summit Tuesday,
. . . to bring together major solar players,
. . . to figure out ways to expand retail solar power from traditional rooftop arrays,
. . . to a model in which households and businesses invest in shared solar systems.
The administration announced that 68 cities, states, and businesses,
. . . had signed on to a White House initiative to promote community solar,
. . . with an emphasis on low- and moderate-income households.
"It’s a way to buy into a solar project, without a home construction project."
