Black history is foundational to the past, present, and future of the U.S. solar and storage industry. As we celebrate Black History Month, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is focused on uplifting the work of Black leaders, delivering resources to improve representation, and advocating for policies that address the inequality in our energy systems.
America’s solar and storage industry is quickly transforming our energy system, creating new opportunities in every corner of the country. This rapid growth cannot be haphazard if we want to ensure equitable growth as part of this transition.
Our energy systems are changing. For decades, communities of color and low-income communities have been systematically excluded from the benefits of energy development while, at the same time, bearing a disproportionate share of its pollution. The transition to clean energy represents a generational opportunity to reverse decades of environmental racism and build a more inclusive and just energy system that all Americans can participate in and benefit from.
Over 130 solar and storage executives will meet in Washington, DC this week to urge lawmakers to protect pro-growth clean energy policies and discuss the industry’s future. Throughout the week, clean energy executives will participate in the Solar Energy Industries Association’s (SEIA’s) Q4 board of directors meeting, share their stories with members of Congress on Capitol Hill, and connect with environmental justice advocates at a special event the trade association is hosting on the Hill.
By convening key stakeholders and developing flexible land use solutions, this initiative is bound to deliver the economic, social, and ecological benefits of solar power to communities across the county.
