This Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) is for gaining insight into essential resources and support structures. The primary purpose is to ensure the successful and equitable deployment of solar and storage solutions in low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDAC). With significant funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, this initiative aims to maximize benefits from distributed solar programs nationwide. SETO’s Workforce and Equitable Access (WEA) team is specifically seeking input on what nationally coordinated resources are vital. This will ensure historic investments in solar, including residential solar plus storage and community solar, lead to genuinely equitable and beneficial outcomes for LIDACs. The goal is to facilitate effective delivery of solar benefits where they are most needed.

| Description: | Through this RFI, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) seeks insight into the resources and support needed, through its existing or expanded work, to ensure successful outcomes of solar and storage deployment serving low-income and disadvantaged communities. The Inflation Reduction Act has dedicated historic levels of funding to catalyze the development of solar programs nationwide that direct benefits towards low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDAC). The SETO Workforce and Equitable Access (WEA) team seeks input on what nationally coordinated and supported resources are needed to ensure this historic investment in distributed solar leads to equitable and successful delivery of benefits through low-income residential solar plus storage, community solar, and other distributed solar located in or serving low-income and disadvantaged communities. |
