What is

Solar Education Week?


RE-volv and partners are thrilled to launch Solar Education week to spark national conversation about solar energy and a just transition to a clean, resilient economy. In the week leading up to Earth Day, college students, Solar Ed week partners and community members around the country will host solar education events in their community.

This year’s Solar Education week, we are focusing on uplifting stories and spreading awareness of Direct Pay, which allows nonprofit organizations and other tax-exempt entities, for the first time ever, to receive federal tax credits for clean energy projects.
