It’s community solar’s time to shine! Sign up to attend the third annual NCSP Summit on January 19, in San Diego, CA or virtually, in coordination with the Coalition for Community Solar Access Community Solar Power Summit. The summit will showcase the substantial progress made in community solar deployment and the bright future for community solar with meaningful benefits. Join the partnership to stay up to date on the summit details, NCSP announcements, and other community solar news.
Join our team! SETO is looking to hire four technology managers in three areas: manufacturing & competitiveness (M&C), systems integration, and strategic analysis and institutional support (SAIS). Technology managers support the research, development, and demonstration of technologies that enable the reliable, resilient, and secure integration of solar energy onto the nation’s electricity grid. Use referral code #SETO when applying for the M&C or SAIS positions.
Students, researchers, and professionals interested in joining SETO as a fellow must submit their applications by January 15. Fellows support solar energy research and development, guiding strategy, designing funding programs, and managing SETO-funded projects in a wide range of topic areas.
 Watch this video to learn about what it's like to be a fellow at SETO.
Don't forget to participate in these funding opportunities, prizes, and solicitations:
As the need for qualified solar professionals grows, so does the need for colleges to connect students and recent graduates with work experience, training courses, and other career development opportunities in solar energy. Learn how SETO funding helped MREA launch its Solar Ready Wisconsin initiative to grow Wisconsin’s solar workforce capacity and replicate their successful programs in surrounding states.
NREL’s recent report, Overview of Functional Technical Requirements for Intentional Island, is the final publication in a series of educational resources on the revised Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard 1547-2018. These resources feature new concepts and requirements necessary for the integration of DERs to improve performance and resilience during extreme grid conditions.
NREL is offering technical assistance to communities, institutions, and organizations based on findings from the Solar Energy Innovation Network. The Assistance for Early Adopters program is looking to create resilience hubs, solar-powered microgrids, siting recommendations to enhance disaster preparedness, and parameters to reduce solar interconnection costs.
DOE’s Clean Energy Demonstrations is now offering technical assistance to inform decision-making on topics related to developing clean energy projects on mine land. This effort will provide no-cost technical assistance that informs the development of successful, impactful, and replicable projects that align with the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land Program priorities, including local job creation and economic development, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and the development of lower-cost electricity generation.
