Sharing the Sun Community Solar Project Data (June 2022) 1.93 MB Data This dataset contains project data on community solar installations across the United States interconnected through June 2022. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) first released a dataset of community solar projects in 2018, and updates it annually at least. The dataset updated through December 2021 for the first time included a tab of projects with provisions for low- and moderate-income (LMI) subscribers. This dataset includes all projects without indicating LMI provisions. Our next annual update will include an LMI component This list has been reviewed but errors may exist and the list may not be comprehensive. Errors in the sources (e.g., press releases) may be duplicated in the dataset.
