The Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) has prepared A Directory of Solar Consumer Education Resources to help state energy agencies and others to educate consumers about residential solar power opportunities. The directory contains links to nearly 50 solar consumer education resources created by federal and state government agencies, utilities, and nonprofits.
The directory is organized into six categories:
- Solar Installation Information: General consumer education guides for homeowners interested in installing solar.
- Energy Programs & Incentives: Materials educating consumers about solar and other energy programs and incentives.
- Solar Consumer Protection: Materials regarding either (1) accountability for bad actors, or (2) education for consumers to know their rights and avoid scams.
- Energy Systems Education: Materials to help educate residents about clean energy and clean energy systems, providing consumers with a “101” perspective on these topics.
- Consumer Energy Guides: Guides to help consumers understand topics such as their utility bills, how to shop for and compare solar, community solar options, storage, etc.
- Miscellaneous Guides
CESA created this directory in response to requests from our member organizations for assistance with their solar consumer education efforts. Some of the resources listed in this directory may provide useful models for state-specific resources. CESA members and others are welcome to include a link to this directory, or any of the resources included within, on their own websites.
CESA will update this directory periodically. If you know of additional resources that should be included in it or corrections to any of the entries, please email CESA Project Director Anna Ziai at anna.ziai@cleanegroup.org.
