The American-Made Community Power Accelerator Prize: Accessing Capital to Deploy Equitable Community Solar is a $10 million prize designed to fast-track the efforts of new, emerging, and expanding solar developers and co-developers to learn, participate, and grow their operations to support multiple successful community solar projects. The goal of this prize is to expand a robust ecosystem of community solar project developers that incorporate meaningful benefits into projects across the United States. In 2024, Round 3 of the Community Power Accelerator Prize expanded beyond community solar to include other forms of distributed solar energy technologies. 25 competitors can win up to $400,000 each in this round.
