Abstract

Solar energy — most people would associate it with the wealthy or people who are particularly concerned with the environment. So when they hear the term low-income solar power, they balk at the idea, thinking “what business do low-income families have with solar power?” But after extensive research and interviews with experts and stakeholders in the industry, it is evident that low-income solar is not just about increasing the accessibility of renewable energy; it is part of a broader solution to achieving environmental justice and economic equity in the United States.
