THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT THE UNCOMMON DIALOGUE IN DEVELOPING CONSENSUS-BASED SOLUTIONS AROUND LSS SITING, EFFORTS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SPEED UP LSS PROJECT PERMITTING, REDUCE THE SOFT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LSS SITING, AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR HOST COMMUNITIES.$3,000,000

SOLAR DEVELOPERS HAVE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED LARGE-SCALE SOLAR ENERGY (LSS) PROJECTS AS A GROWING BARRIER TO DEPLOYMENT, BUT THERE IS LITTLE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE DESCRIBING THE WAYS IN WHICH SPECIFIC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OUTREACH STRATEGIES INFLUENCE HOST COMMUNITY ATTITUDES ABOUT THESE PROJECTS. THIS PROJECT'S OBJECTIVE IS TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF FACTORS INFLUENCING COMMUNITY ACCEPTANCE OF LSS PROJECTS AND TO TEST INNOVATIVE WAYS TO INCREASE THAT ACCEPTANCE. THE PROJECT LEVERAGES THE UNCOMMON DIALOGUE ON LARGE-SCALE U.S. SOLAR DEVELOPMENT AND LAND CONSERVATION, A DIVERSE LSS STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION THAT AIMS TO DEVELOP CONSENSUS-BASED INNOVATIONS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PRACTICES. BY DEPLOYING THOSE MEASURES IN COMMUNITIES WHERE A LSS PROJECT HAS BEEN PROPOSED AND CONDUCTING RIGOROUS SURVEY RESEARCH IN THOSE COMMUNITIES, THE PROJECT TEAM SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER AND TO WHAT EXTENT THESE INNOVATIONS HAVE AN IMPACT ON COMMUNITY ACCEPTANCE OF LSS DEVELOPMENT.$2,325,734

THIS PROJECT AIMS TO REDUCE TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO DEPLOYING LARGE-SCALE AGRIVOLTAIC PROJECTS.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL SURVEY SOLAR DEVELOPERS, FARMERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES TO UNDERSTAND BARRIERS TO AGRIVOLTAICS AND DEVELOP CASE STUDIES OF AGRIVOLTAIC PROJECTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW BARRIERS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. A SET OF REPORTS TAILORED TO SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER GROUPS (FARMERS, SOLAR DEVELOPERS, UTILITIES, AND STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS) WILL BE DEVELOPED ON HOW STAKEHOLDER-SPECIFIC BARRIERS COULD BE ADDRESSED. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL ALSO DEVELOP TEMPLATES AND MODEL CONTRACTS THAT CAN HELP FACILITATE AGRIVOLTAICS DEPLOYMENTS.$489,843
