Solar United Neighbors

Mission

2030 Climate Challenge Finalist

We envision a clean, equitable energy system that directs control and benefits back to local communities, with solar on every roof and money in every pocket.

We’re 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.

Launched in April 2020, the 2030 Climate Challenge was a $10 million competition sponsored by an anonymous donor to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the buildings, industry, and/or transportation sectors in the United States by 2030. 68 proposals were submitted to the competition and were evaluated using four criteria: whether the proposals were impactful, feasible, scalable, and durable. Five Finalists were announced in February 2021. Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) was announced as the $10 million Awardee in June 2021.
