Solar industry stakeholders, project developers, and members of the financial sector will gather in a virtual discussion to identify how community financial institutions, such as credit unions, community banks and Community Development Financial Institutions can finance solar installations in low-income communities and communities of color. Full agenda.
The plenary session, a culmination of previous working sessions, will identify capital needs across low-income solar finance; identify policy barriers to scaling low-income solar development across project types and business models; engage a broad group of stakeholders in solar development, community development finance, philanthropy, mainstream finance, and climate and energy policy to attract interest and support for efforts to scale low-income solar finance.
