body
SUMMARY:
Solar United Neighbors (SUN) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, who represent the needs and interests of solar owners and supporters across the country.
SUN’s vision is stated as a clean, equitable energy system that directs control and benefits back to local communities, with solar on every roof and money in every pocket.
SUN’s mission is stated as a community of people building a new energy system with rooftop solar at the cornerstone. We help people go solar, join together and fight for their energy rights.
As indicated on their website, “We’re also directly affected by our utility’s net metering and community solar rates, as well as policies like fixed charges, renewable portfolio standards, net metering cap, and third-party ownership. Because of this, we have a strong stake in the outcome of solar policy and other energy fights happening in state houses and public service commissions across the country.”
