Most state energy agencies are working to educate consumers about residential solar power opportunities. CESA has compiled and organized this directory of resources to help consumer education efforts around solar. The directory lists and describes federal and state resources for educating consumers about solar opportunities and considerations.

Solar projects can generally be placed in two buckets: they are either large utility-scale ground mounted projects connected to the grid, or they are smaller, distributed projects, typically 20 MW in capacity or less. 

The Clean Energy Business Network puts out an annual State of Clean Energy.

Canary Media is an independent, nonprofit newsroom covering the transition to clean energy and solutions to the climate crisis. They report on how the world is decarbonizing — in electricity, transportation, buildings and industry — with a critical focus on finding out what works and what doesn’t. Through uncompromising reporting, their journalists dig into the ways policymakers, businesses, investors and communities are moving toward a clean and equitable energy future.

Solar States was founded with a dual-mission to install solar and educate the next generation of installers. Founded in 2008, Solar States stands as a pillar in Philadelphia’s solar landscape as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firm and NABCEP Registered Training Provider.

The Fifth National Climate Assessment is the US Government’s preeminent report on climate change impacts, risks, and responses. It is a congressionally mandated interagency effort that provides the scientific foundation to support informed decision-making across the United States.

Renewables are growing exponentially, RMI has shown. The shift is transformative, but also widely under counted. The International Energy Agency’s latest findings — on renewables’ rise and oil demand peaking — add urgency to this transition.

In June, a first-of-its-kind lawsuit will go to trial in Montana. The case, Held v. Montana, centers on the climate crisis. Sixteen young plaintiffs allege their state government has failed in its obligation, spelled out in the state constitution, to provide residents with a healthful environment. The psychiatrist Dr. Lise Van Susteren is serving as an expert witness and intends to detail the emotional distress that can result from watching the environmental destruction unfolding year after year.

We know the “why” and the “what” of working to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. But the “when,” “where,” and “how” have been largely a matter of guesswork—until now.

For more than 30 years, Sarcos has created dexterous robotic systems designed to master the world's most dangerous and unpredictable environments.

PennEnvironment Research and Policy Center has created a map of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects across Pennsylvania.

"We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture from the perspective of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-panel longevity," said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student at Cornell.

Greta Thunberg, the 20-year-old climate activist, has put together a reading list for determined citizens willing to mobilize for a just and sustainable future

These shows full of passionate reporting, will leave you better informed and perhaps less prone to doom paralysis.
