How Can We Grow This Movement?
This seminal report reflects the efforts of teachers, schools, companies, organizations and individuals serving as the driving force behind the nation’s burgeoning solar schools movement. Recognizing that these efforts frequently occur in isolation, a number of stakeholders came together over the last 12 months to create the National Solar Schools Consortium, which The Solar Foundation hosts and co-chairs. The purpose of the Consortium is threefold: to coordinate member efforts to promote the use of solar on schools, to aggregate and consolidate current and future solar resource development efforts, and amplify its members’ successes by acting as a unified voice for the growing national solar schools movement. We welcome your participation. More information about the Consortium is available online at www.solarschools2020.org or by contacting Andrea Luecke directly at aluecke@solarfound.org.
