Ohio Policy

Ohio is on the brink of adopting community solar enabling legislation. Community solar can help Ohio generate more in-state energy to help power the many energy-intensive industries targeted for economic development. Lightstar sees community solar in Ohio as an ideal use to repurpose distressed sites with clean energy generation, as well as a great tool to help landowners diversify their incomes with dual-use agrivoltaics. If approved, the prospective community solar program in Ohio could allow larger project sizes of up to 10MW, among the largest of any state in the nation.
