Groundswell is one of the original participating organizations in the US Department of Energy’s National Community Solar Partnership, a voluntary network of more than 300 organizations focused on sharing ideas and resources to advance and accelerate community solar services nationwide. Groundswell’s leadership of the LIFT project is highlighted through NCSP, and our SharePower community solar program was recognized by NCSP for delivering meaningful benefits through greater household savings for low-and-moderate income households.

Solar Energy Innovation Network
The Solar Energy Innovation Network is a collaborative research program led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. An innovative program design brings together teams of stakeholders from across the United States—including utilities, state and local governments, nonprofits, innovative companies, and electric system operators. With the support of technical experts from national laboratories and other research institutions, these teams work to implement innovative applications of solar and distributed energy resources (DERs) in their unique locations and contexts. The solutions developed by the teams are demonstrated and validated in real-world contexts, making them ready for replication and scale. Groundswell leads the “Breaking Barriers” team in SEIN, phase 2.
