FARMS Report
As part of a 2 year project funded under the U.S. Department of Energy’s FARMS program, SI2 and project partners are studying barriers to agrivoltaics and developing recommendations to overcome them.
Solar Market Insight Report
U.S. Solar Market Insight® is a quarterly publication of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)® and Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables.
Flexible Interconnection
This report found that for some community solar projects, flexible interconnection provides 176% more revenue over the lifetime of the project than under other scenarios.

Explore solar and storage data directly from SI2 research areas and projects. These stats feature our expertise in agrivoltaics, siting and permitting, and interconnection.
OUR EXPERTISE —
The SI2 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.

Comprehensive Siting Legislation
SI2 developed a model legislative siting policy that will streamline permitting for large-scale solar and storage projects and allow projects to come online more quickly.
Developing Game Changing Reforms for Large-Scale Interconnection
This one-year project will develop and build consensus around game-changing interconnection reform for large scale solar and storage projects.
Automated Rooftop Permitting Model Policy
This model policy gives states a template to encourage local governments to adopt automated rooftop solar permitting software.

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.
Model Policy
SI2 is at the forefront of identifying evidence-based policy solutions to address the systemic challenges facing the solar and storage industry and that reflect individual communities’ and stakeholders’ needs.
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.
