Solar For All

Tribal Energy Alternatives is proud to be joined by other nationally recognized Tribal nonprofit partners, the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, Native CDFI Network, Native Renewables, and the California Tribal Energy Collective in proposing the Western Indigenous Network Solar For All (WIN-SFA) program. Our program is based on long experience working in Tribal communities and is designed to maximize Tribal household and community benefits and energy sovereignty while addressing environmental destruction and climate change. By providing Financial Assistance (FA) in the form of grants and incentives, along with Technical Assistance (TA) from organizations with deep experience in equitable deployment of Tribal residential-serving renewable energy, WIN-SFA will provide solar and its benefits to at least 2,910 Native American households across the nation by 2029. Program benefits will include expanded access to solar and storage in Tribal Nations; vastly improved and more affordable integrated energy solutions, both on- and off-grid; job training and inclusive Workforce Development (WFD) opportunities for Tribal members and opportunities for Tribal- and member-owned business enterprises; increased resilience against climate change impacts and other harms; and community-centered engagement and participatory governance based on relationships of respect and trust.
