Equity is an increasingly important priority across all levels of government and corporate procurement and is being codified in legislation, regulation and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) models. Panelists will discuss how the solar industry is advancing these goals and changing business models to optimize incentives for increased low-to-moderate Income (LMI) participation. The session will also explore opportunities and barriers for development strategies, offtake agreements and financing structures for projects partnering with LMI consumers, housing authorities and other counterparties traditionally under-represented in the solar sector.
