SUMMARY:Spark Workshop: Hacking Community Solar
DESCRIPTION:The Democratization of Solar Energy\nFeaturing Donna Sanders ’17BUS\,  co-founder of Social Solar\,\nwith special guests Gary Skulnik\, Founding Partner of OurPower\, and Annie Su\, Senior Analyst of Ecogy Solar\nPollution that arises from the burning of fossil fuels has several environmental\, financial\, and health consequences. As a result\, international\, national\, and local laws are being enacted favoring renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. New York State\, specifically\, has enacted a Clean Energy Standard that mandates 50 percent of all energy come from renewable sources by 2030. \nSocial Solar\, founded by Columbia University alumni\, caters to NYC residents and businesses who are dissatisfied with being excluded from solar simply because they live in co-ops and condos\, or because their business rooftop is too small. Social Solar’s service is a new shared solution that provides consolidation of solar needs to form one solar community as an inclusive option for solar power\, utility savings\, and cleaner air. Join us to discuss: \n\nWhat are some of the financial and structural barriers prohibiting widespread community solar adoption in NYC?\nWhat are viable community solar solutions?\n\nFor more event information\, please click here. This workshop is supported by the Lang Center for Entrepreneurship\, Social Enterprise Club\, Green Business Club\, and Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School; and the Columbia Organization of Rising Entrepreneurs (CORE) at Columbia University. \nAbout the Spark Workshop Series \nSpark Workshops provide social innovators with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nThis workshop is open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that these social innovators aim to address. \nIf you are unable to attend this event but would like more information on Spark\, please register for our mailing list. \nIf you would like to suggest a future Spark workshop\, please contact:\nsocialenterprise@gsb.columbia.edu
