Solar Powers America
 he
Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES) is the lead organization in
Colorado of partnerships for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s)
new initiative: Solar Powers America. The goal of the
former initiative, Million Solar Roofs, was to install solar energy
systems on at least one million roofs in the United States by 2010.
That initiative has achieved its goals and the Solar Powers America
Initiative wants to continue the momentum established by our
partnerships.
Solar Powers America is organized as a
partnership between DOE and private organizations that can move
together toward this goal and educate the public about the benefits of
solar energy. DOE provides grants to some organizations involved in
the partnerships based on their experience with solar education in
their respective communities. DOE also holds regular meetings with
partners to monitor the progress and coordinate the efforts of these
groups.
CRES has received three SPA (formerly
Million Solar Roofs) grants
from DOE since 2002, and works closely with the
Colorado Energy Science Center
(CESC) in Golden on this initiative. CRES chapters in Fort
Collins, Colorado Springs, and Durango are also involved. Solar Powers
America current partnerships include:
