Identifying disadvantaged communities in the United States
This paper defines a policy-relevant nationwide composite index to identify communities disproportionately impacted by environmental, energy, and climate injustices in the United States. We review existing vulnerability indicators and indices to assess the tradeoffs of different design parameters, including variable selection, geographic unit, dimensionality reduction, weighting, and aggregation methods. From this methodological review, we create…
Growth in energy justice
Solar photovoltaics (PV) offers an alternative to fossil fuels and accelerated adoption of solar PV is expected among utilities, businesses, and communities. However, not all communities are seeing these transformative opportunities. National studies have exposed disparities in rooftop solar adoption across demographic groups, with low-income, renter-occupied, and communities of color disproportionately participating less. To better understand th…

Disparities in rooftop photovoltaics deployment in the United States by race and ethnicity
Rooftop solar photovoltaic potential in cities
Distributed photovoltaics (PV) have played a critical role in the deployment of solar energy, currently making up roughly half of the global PV installed capacity. However, there remains significant unused economically beneficial potential. Estimates of the total technical potential for rooftop PV systems in the United States calculate a generation comparable to approximately 40% of the 2016 total national electric-sector sales. To best take adva…
