  2. Smart C&I Solar Solution Cities across the country have made commitments to reaching ambitious renewable energy and carbon reduction goals. While these metros have made progress in the past few years, there’s still plenty of work to be done. Commercial and industrial (C&I) solar project developers and EPCs are in a good position to help these cities reach their goals.

  3. Only 20% of cities on track to meet goals The latest City Clean Energy Scorecard from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) found that only one-fifth of U.S. cities are on track to meet their goals in 2020. Of the 100 cities assessed, only 63 had community-wide initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Of these 63 cities, only 34 provided data to track their progress. In order to meet these goals, many municipalities will need to ramp up their efforts by adopting and implementing more impactful clean energy policies. Solar developers and EPCs have the chance to provide the technical expertise necessary to identify areas where solar power can help.

  4. Municipal space ideal for solar Not only must cities provide greater financial incentives and clean-energy requirements, they must also lead by example. Thankfully, most municipalities own and operate a host of spaces ideal for solar PV installations. These sites include municipal buildings, school districts, police and fire departments, and many other social services, often with their own facilities and buildings. Many cities also own and operate parking lots, which are prime locations for installing solar carports. City-led community solar projects are in a great position to engage and excite customers with ease due to their familiarity with outreach programs.

  5. How solar developers and EPCs can help In many instances, developers and EPCs may even need to take initiative in pitching proposals and guiding elected officials through the technical aspects of PV installations. Any solar project proposal will need to ensure delivery value to the city as well as provide renewable energy. One great way to create more value for commercial PV installations for municipal governments involves using a smart C&I Solutions. A smart solar solution can help accelerate the municipal decarbonization process and provide greater value for big or small cities.
