This FOA directly supports the goals of the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Solar Energy Technologies Program and the SunShot Initiative.
This FOA will take a phased approach addressing four main action areas (listed below), designed so that awardees that succeed in all action areas will have the necessary policy and process framework in place to support a robust solar market in their region: Permitting and Interconnection Processes; Net Metering and Interconnection Standards; Financing Options; and Planning and Zoning.
