Low-Income Solar, Part 1: Lessons Learned from Low-Income Energy Efficiency Programs

March 23, 2017 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

As states seek to increase the adoption of solar among low-income households and communities, the history of low-income energy efficiency programs provides useful lessons. In this webinar, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researcher Ian Hoffman discussed the lessons learned from low-income energy efficiency programs, and how they can be applied to low-income solar programs. Topics covered include how programs can be tailored to different segments of the low-income population, such as multifamily vs. single-family housing, as well as what obstacles have been encountered and what new solutions are proposed.

Panelist: Ian Hoffman, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Moderator: Warren Leon, Clean Energy States Alliance

The research presented in this webinar, and the webinar itself, are supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative. CESA produced this webinar as part of the Sustainable Solar Education Project.
