About the Policy Library

Our model policies serve as blueprints that policymakers from all levels of government, developers and communities can adapt and implement. They reflect extensive research on the issue area and aim to standardize improved approaches around solar siting, interconnection and other issue areas. 

We are working with industry stakeholders and policymakers to create legislative proposals for solar and storage deployment that fill in existing legislative gaps so that all Americans receive affordable and reliable solar energy.

Comprehensive Siting Legislation

SI2 developed a model legislative siting policy that will streamline permitting for large-scale solar and storage projects and allow projects to come online more quickly.

Reforms for Large-Scale Interconnection

This project builds on existing policy with consensus-driven interconnection reform to enable faster, more affordable large-scale solar and storage deployment.

Automated Rooftop Permitting Model Policy

Provides local governments with a streamlined template to adopt legislation and automated permitting software to reduce costs and accelerate rooftop solar  project deployment. 

Residential Rooftop Solar Permitting Model Policy

By simplifying siting and permitting for residential rooftop solar,  this research-backed framework helps states lower related soft costs and accelerate the deployment of residential solar.
