Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has launched a non-profit to facilitate the energy transition through clean energy research and analysis.
The Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) will act as SEIA’s charitable and educational arm, using research, public education initiatives and policymaker engagement to remove barriers to clean energy deployment, the trade body said.
One particular area of focus for SI2 will be addressing land use concerns. The siting of clean energy projects requires community acceptance and well-designed projects that consider the environment and local communities as well as access to transmission lines, upgrades to grid infrastructure and several other factors.
