Description
How do you make sure your city's zoning isn't unintentionally slowing down residential solar and ideally encouraging equitable solar development? And for communities with farmland or less developed areas, how do you proactively guide larger scale solar to maximize benefits to the community? We interview Brian Ross, Vice President of Renewable Energy at the Great Plains Institute, and learn about these and many more solar related zoning and permitting issues.ResourcesGreat Plains Institute (GPI) websiteGPI Model Solar OrdinancesArticle on Minneapolis training program including solarBloomberg article on Menlo Park & Bloc Power Local article on Ithaca's relationship with Bloc Power
