I’m excited to announce the publication of our Policy Memo, "Shining a Light on Equitable Solar Energy: Addressing Challenges and Enhancing Opportunities for Business Participation in Community Solar," in the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG)! Collaborating with 2024 Christine Mirzayan Fellows on this project was an incredible opportunity to dive into a field far outside my expertise—solar energy—and to work as a team to write a Policy Memo. We aimed to highlight real pathways for expanding community solar project use and impact. Many thanks to my co-authors for their insights, dedication, and teamwork: Atif Ashraf, Matt Boehm, Aida Davila, PhD, and Melinda Paduani. I’m proud of what we created together and grateful for the chance to learn and grow alongside such talented people! Check it out to learn more about actionable paths toward inclusive community solar 🌞 #SolarEnergy #SciencePolicy #CommunitySolar
