Sharing the Sun Community Solar Project Data (December 2022)

This database represents a list of community solar projects identified through various sources as of Dec 2022. In addition, this dataset updated the low-income (LI) and low- and moderate-income (LMI) provisions for both complete and pending projects, based on the most recent program data we collected as of July 2023.

The 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 list. Blank spaces represent missing information. NREL invites input to improve the database including to - correct erroneous information - add missing projects - fill in missing information - remove inactive projects. Updated information can be submitted to Kaifeng Xu at kaifeng.xu@nrel.gov and Jenny Heeter at jenny.heeter@nrel.gov. The June 2019 list can be found here: https://data.nrel.gov/submissions/114.
