Local Solar For All
Local Solar for All’s mission is to create a safer, more
affordable and equitable way to supply power to our communities.

Aiming for a 95% emission reduction by 2050, the Local Solar Roadmap put forth an ambitious vision in 2020. We know now that we can be more aggressive thanks to policies like the Inflation Reduction Act. On the Roadmap’s third anniversary, discover our commitment to a cleaner, greener world and what it will take to get there. ☀️🌿

Local Solar Roadmap — Local Solar for All Check out the new roadmap for how to more cost-effectively transition to a clean grid by 2050.
Local solar and storage, especially when they are virtual power plants, are essential to keeping our electric grid stable and affordable. We can’t win on climate change without it! In 2020, we showed how we can create $473 billion in savings. That’s only the start of how VPPs and local solar will benefit families, communities, and our national economy.

Three years ago, the Local Solar Roadmap presented an ambitious future where rapid deployment of local solar + storage could create the lowest cost, cleanest future grid. What we were really saying was, like local solar and storage are essential to our clean energy transition.
We’re so glad to see some “successor” reports come out since our Roadmap, like the Department of Energy’s Virtual Power Plant Commercial Liftoff report. Check out how local solar and VPPs are our future. ▶︎ https://liftoff.energy.gov/vpp/

We’re celebrating 3 years of the Local Solar Roadmap this week!
Using a Vibrant Clean Energy, LLC tool to calculate the future impact of expanding distributed solar, the Roadmap found that deploying more local + storage can get us the cleanest, lowest-cost grid.
☀️273GW of local solar = 💰$473 billion savings + over 2 million jobs.
