Why Model Policy?
SI2 is focused on helping developers and communities successfully deploy solar and storage systems that benefit all Americans. Â
Our experts are working on the ground and with federal, state and local officials to develop policies that support the widespread adoption of solar and storage projects, helping to meet energy demand and provide Americans with affordable and reliable energy.  Â

Model 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.Â
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. These proposals seek to reduce existing regulatory hurdles, speed up permitting processes, and ensure smoother project execution from planning to completion.Â

Agrivoltaics
As solar continues to expand, farmland has become an attractive option for project siting. By integrating solar with agriculture, farms across the country demonstrate how agrivoltaics benefit their operations and local economies.
Siting and Permitting
The solar and storage industry is growing quickly. Experts at SI2 are supporting this progress with cutting-edge research focused on addressing existing barriers and opening new pathways for project deployment.
Grid Interconnection
The ability to connect solar and storage systems to the grid quickly and efficiently is essential to scaling solar projects across the nation. SI2 is actively working to streamline the interconnection process.
Projects can connect to the grid faster and at lower cost with flexible interconnection. This maximizes the usage of existing infrastructure while maintaining reliability.Â
