(RFIs) to gather stakeholder input on workforce development programs and expanding community solar.

DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) issued two requests for information (RFIs) to gather stakeholder input on workforce development programs and expanding community solar.

The goal of the Workforce Development Strategies Supporting the Solar Industry RFI is to obtain insights on training strategies and tools that will help grow a diverse and skilled clean energy workforce. We would like your feedback on the following topics:

• Workforce needs for the solar industry (for solar companies)

• Workforce development strategies supporting the solar industry (for all stakeholders)

The Equitable Access to Community-Based Solar RFI is intended to gather information on barriers to rapid community solar deployment and other community-serving models, particularly in low- and moderate-income communities. We would like your input on the following topics:

• How to drive equitable deployment and greater access

• Strategies for meaningful bill savings and other benefits of community solar

• Innovative business models

For both RFIs, the deadline to respond is June 1 at 5 p.m. ET.
