Last year, we gathered stakeholder input through four ongoing virtual Working Groups (Technical, Finance & Policy, Community Benefit, and Case Study). These 44 professionals from across the country evaluated the challenges, solutions and implementation components for how to achieve the program goals. 

 

The participants gathered in November 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia for the Collaboration Lab Summit to chart a path forward for integrating Black-owned solar solutions at healthcare facilities serving vulnerable populations. This in-person gathering provided a critical opportunity for stakeholders to validate solutions, build out the 2026 implementation plan, and generate momentum for coalition-building.
