ACTT supports renewable energy planning and implementation for individual homeowners, small businesses, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and collaborations between municipalities. We bring a community-driven lens and facilitation skills to the table combined with a high level of technical experience and collaboration with area contractors and experts. We also link community-driven renewable energy projects with state and federal funding and support grant applications.

Project types include:

• Support for homeowners, small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and municipalities in developing owned-solar (rooftop and ground mount). ACTT is not a solar installer; instead, we support entities in considering solar, identifying contractors, securing any available supportive funding, and navigating the interconnection process with the local utility.

• Battery storage - ACTT is increasingly supporting partners of all sizes in considering the potential of battery storage, particularly paired with renewable energy generation, as both a benefit to the electrical grid, to the owner, and a resilience-building measure.

• Access to owned solar for all income levels - At ACTT, we know that ownership maters. We have dedicated significant time to pathways to increase access to solar ownership, particularly to low-income homeowners and renters. Primary methods explored include cooperative solar ownership and solarize programs.
