Don’t forget the deadline to submit your Community Power Accelerator Prize Round 2 application is next Wednesday, Oct. 4, by 5 p.m. ET. The prize administrators highly recommend uploading your submission as early as possible to avoid connectivity issues or upload delays. 

Here’s a quick reminder of what you need to submit:  

Introduction to Community Solar Course 

The Introduction to Community Solar Course is intended to help teams understand how community solar developers can build projects that include the Five Meaningful Benefits. The course is approximately 3–4 hours (including videos, reading assignments, quizzes, and self-assessment). You can go at your own pace and start and stop as you wish. Register for the course online here.  

At least one member of the lead organization must complete the Introduction to Community Solar Course and submit to HeroX the email they used to register for the course as well as the date of completion as evidence. 

Organizations who have already completed and passed the Introduction to Community Solar course within the past year will not be required to retake the course for Phase 1. However, they will be required to provide the email used to register for the course as well as the date of completion. Find more details about this course in the Official Rules Section 5.5.
