Regional SolSmart Webinar Presented by National Association of Regional Councils 

Date: June 12, 2024 | 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET
Solar energy is one of the most rapidly growing sources of energy in the United States. Unprecedented opportunities for funding, including new tax credits, bonus incentives and grants are making this the perfect time to consider your solar plans, policies and programs.
Join us to learn how SolSmart, a no-cost technical assistance program funded by the Department of Energy, is available to partner with regional councils to support implementation of best practices and unlock the benefits of solar energy.
In this informative session, we will share how the SolSmart program supports communities and regions to create customized roadmaps, streamline solar permitting processes, reduce costs and boost solar adoption. Our expert panelists will share examples from regional councils that have participated in SolSmart to ensure they are well-positioned to access funding opportunities and grow strong solar markets that benefit local residents and businesses.
