Overview
Vote Solar is a national nonprofit organization working to foster economic opportunity, promote energy security, and fight climate change by making solar a mainstream energy resource. The organization works at the state level across the country to support policies and programs aimed at re-powering the grid with sunshine. This funding will support its program to advance solar in Florida, allowing it to hire a technical expert to engage in key regulatory dockets in Florida and other southeastern states. Funding will also allow it to broaden a coalition of pro-solar business and conservative leaders, and provide support and advice to community-based groups that want to promote solar for low-income communities.
