This bill extends the availability of solar energy to a wider public, and that is a positive outcome.

This bill would allow many people in our state to access solar generated energy which would help lower their energy costs. Solar energy is clean, sustainable and low-cost. Why wouldn't we work to make it available to everyone in our state?

This bill would allow community solar projects to enable multiple households or businesses to share a single solar installation, making solar energy more accessible to people who may not be able to install solar panels on their own property (like renters or those with unsuitable roofs). By creating specific provisions for low- and moderate-income solar projects, the bill ensures that these communities are not left out of the benefits of solar energy. This could help reduce energy costs for those who might struggle with high utility bills. This bill could help expand this model, bring solar energy to more residents and make our state's energy use more efficient..

I urge you to support this bill that would expand solar options to people who may not be able to install solar panels on their. own property, but would like to join with others on another site. This will reduce the energy costs for folks who may not be able to install their own system. The bill would bring the benefits of solar power to more NH residents.

I think this would be a great way to bring solar to more households and businesses who would not be able to do this on their own.

This is not right because it is simply not true - "Expands the definition of "political subdivision" to include not-for-profits, while removing the previous specification about special purpose entities". A not-for-profit will never be a subdivision of government. We have alreday seen how nonprofits like USAID has been politically manipulated to use public funds to do partisan evil.

This legislation will greatly improve residential access to clean sustainable solar PV, which could directly benefit my household and those of my neighbors as well as many others around our heavily wooded Granite State. This type of energy development will contribute to cleaner air, as well as lower energy costs in the long term. Please support it!
