Mission

Vote Solar is a nonprofit grassroots organization working to foster economic opportunity, promote energy security and fight climate change by making solar a mainstream energy resource. We work at the state level all across the country to support the programs necessary to repower our grid with sunshine.

What We Do

In order to bring solar energy to a scale large enough to displace fossil fuel use, we need to lower solar’s costs and remove barriers to market participation. Vote Solar’s tool-chest of projects, programs and grassroots campaigns are all designed to address this equation: cost + access = scale.

We advance our programs by bringing six core campaign strategies to bear in a coordinated manner:
-Regulatory Participation
-Direct Policymaker Education
-Local & Diverse Advocacy Partnership
-Technical Analysis, Tools & Resources
-Direct Customer Education & Acquisition
-Public Communications & Grassroots Engagement

We target state and local opportunities for change. The states we cover are diverse in their policies and their politics. The unifying characteristic is that their citizens overwhelmingly want more solar powering their homes, businesses and communities. We are committed to give those solar supporters a voice in energy decision making - a vote for solar.
