Solar in Your Community Challenge
The SunShot Prize: Solar in Your Community Challenge is a prize competition which aims to expand solar electricity access to all Americans, especially underserved segments such as low- and moderate-income (LMI) households, state, local, and tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. In order to make solar more accessible and inclusive for every American, the challenge works to spur the development of new and innovative financial and business models that serve non-rooftop solar users such as community solar.

Multiple host countries may mean that no travel is required.
