Introduction to Community Solar Course
The Introduction to Community Solar Course is intended to help teams understand how community solar developers can build projects that include the Five Meaningful Benefits. The course is approximately 3–4 hours (including videos, reading assignments, quizzes, and self-assessment). You can go at your own pace and start and stop as you wish.
Find more information and register for the course here. Please keep in mind that you will receive an email with a unique course access link within 2–3 business days. Prize administrators highly recommend completing this course multiple days before the submission deadline.
