Community solar: Can California get it right this time?

Tell us what you think of the show!

California is a leader in the energy transition. There's no doubt about it.

But even the most mature solar market in the country hasn't always gotten it right.

A community solar program implemented in 2013 never really panned out. And while the community solar sector grew rapidly in other states, California watched as few projects got built. 
 
Episode 33 of the Factor This! podcast features Aaron Halimi, president and founder of the California-based community solar developer Renewable Properties. Halimi breaks down the state of community solar, the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, and California's second attempt to craft a successful program. 

Can they get it right this time?

That's all next on Factor This!
