Policy makers have confirmed a commitment to a mix of utility-scale and distributed solar. Here we define distributed as inclusive of rooftop but also anything under 20 MW. While interest groups find many reasons to favor one over another, each has advantages and each can be made better. Utility-scale solar farms can be – and are being – built on less sensitive lands, and small-scale solar can be more equitably distributed than it has been to date and create better jobs. Four strategies identified below describe policy opportunities for improving job quality in the distributed solar market.
