Model Policy

Decision-makers need evidence-based resources and clear policy recommendations that are reflective of individual communities and stakeholder needs. SI2 is at the forefront of identifying evidence-based policy solutions to address the systemic challenges facing the solar and storage industry.

ABOUT 

Why Model Policy?

SI2 is focused on helping developers and communities successfully deploy solar and storage systems that benefit all Americans.  

Our experts are working on the ground and with  federal, state and local  officials to develop policies  that support the widespread adoption of solar and storage projects, helping to meet  energy demand and provide Americans with affordable and reliable energy.   

FEATURED 

Model Policy Library

Our model policies serve as blueprints that policymakers from all levels of government, developers and communities can adapt and implement. They reflect extensive research on the issue area and aim to standardize improved approaches around solar siting, interconnection and other issue areas. 

We are working with industry stakeholders and policymakers to create legislative proposals for solar and storage deployment that fill in existing legislative gaps so that all Americans receive affordable and reliable solar energy. These proposals seek to reduce existing regulatory hurdles, speed up permitting processes, and ensure smoother project execution from planning to completion.

Siting and Permitting

The solar and storage industry is growing at an exponential pace. Experts at SI2 are supporting this progress with cutting-edge research focused on addressing existing barriers and opening new pathways for project deployment 

Interconnection

The ability to connect solar and storage systems to the grid quickly and efficiently is essential to scaling solar projects across the nation. SI2 is actively working to streamline the interconnection process.

Agrivoltaics

As solar continues to expand, farmland has become an attractive option for project siting. By integrating solar with agriculture, farms across the country demonstrate how agrivoltaics benefit their operations and local economies.
