As the national trade association for solar companies in the U.S., we have a unique position, and therefore a unique responsibility, to lead the industry forward and create a more just and equitable energy future. Learn more about joining the Council and supporting the development of brand-new products and services to make the solar industry more diverse, equitable and inclusive.
Background
SEIA has a unique opportunity and responsibility to lead the industry forward
SEIA has long recognized the importance of incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion and justice into all aspects of our work. As the national trade association for solar companies in the U.S., we have a unique position, and therefore a unique responsibility, to lead the industry forward and create a more just and equitable energy future.
In June 2020, we established a Board-level taskforce to make meaningful progress and catalyze action. This taskforce has scoped out several products that will drive the rapid development and adoption of new DEIJ-focused policies and programs across the industry.
All of these products require support from solar companies and other stakeholders who understand the importance of centering equity in the transition to a clean energy economy. By joining SEIA’s DEIJ Leadership Council, you will directly support the creation of brand-new products and services that make the solar industry more diverse, equitable and inclusive, while ensuring that the growth of solar nationwide supports frontline communities and addresses environmental justice.
