A 1.2 megawatt (MW) solar energy project across 40 New York City Housing Authority rooftops was announced as the national winner of a U.S. Department of Energy program to make solar power affordable to renters in public housing.
The project was developed by Solar One in collaboration with WE ACT for Environmental Justice, the Brooklyn Movement Center, and Con Edison. It was one of 10 finalists in the DOE’s Sunny Awards for Equitable Community Solar, presented yesterday at the National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) Annual Summit in San Diego.
This year’s summit theme, “Community Solar’s Time to Shine,” reflects how recent renewable energy innovations and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passage have unlocked new potential for community solar in the U.S.
