Last week, we asked the question: where can you get agenda-free assistance if you want solar or need help with your solar panels? And we found the answer: the Solar United Neighbors Solar Help Desk. Available to any solar customer and built on their organization’s work of helping folks go solar together, the solar help desk can answer questions about maintenance, warranties, or consumer protection.

Also, I gave a presentation at the Gateway to Solar conference about ILSR’s Community Power Scorecard, which shows which states help and which hinder clean local energy via actions to promote policies like community solar and actions to hold monopoly utilities accountable.

Keep your energy local,
