NOTE: Eligible for 1.25 AICP CM credits

A local government’s approach to zoning and development can have a significant impact on solar energy growth. The inclusion of solar energy planning and zoning best practices provides a foundation that can help facilitate the growth of solar energy, while balancing other development priorities in a community.

This free training course provides communities with strategies for incorporating solar into plans, ordinances, and development regulations—and is scheduled for 1.5 hours to ensure enough time to cover the technical details needed to implement best practices.
