Solar Energy

This functional plan seeks to continue the expansion of utility-scale solar energy production through partnerships with the private industry, incentive programs, and public policy changes (Chap. 1). The plan also encourages distributed solar energy production with residential and commercial customers through incentives and education, along with increasing the demand for and amount of solar ready homes through public outreach and coordination with home builders (Chap. 2).

Other chapters address fostering solar energy research and development, establishing a solar energy economy, providing comprehensive training and education assistance, expanding public outreach to residents, improving public policy, expanding financing opportunities, building effective partnerships, and reaching the city's overarching solar goals.
