Winners of the Solar in Your Community Challenge, a $5 million competition launched in 2016 as a way to improve energy affordability and expand solar access to low-and-moderate-income (LMI) households, were announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) this week. A project led by the housing authority of the City and County of Denver, CO took the grand prize of $500,000. In total, the winning teams proposed 25.7 megawatts of solar energy projects across the country by 2020, benefiting more than 1,200 households and 18 nonprofit organizations through significant energy cost savings and community-level solar skill building.
