Help us reach our goal to mobilize mayors across the country to go big on solar in their communities.
Cities across America have the power to get all the energy they need from the sun. Millions of rooftops are poised to hold solar panels. City governments can and already are making it easier for residents and small businesses to go solar. Environment America’s Mayors for Solar Energy project is helping city leaders take concrete steps toward this brighter, healthier future by building a broad, bipartisan community of mayors and giving them the tools they need to tap into the power of the sun.
