Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ability to install solar panels is limited for many Americans, particularly renters. Community solar allows subscribers to save an average of ten percent on electricity. Changes to the current regulatory caps in Virginia could increase market access for these solar programs.
