Mission
Promoting clean, safe, locally harvested solar energy for every Texan.
Program accomplishments
- A membership-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, TXSES's unique niche is exemplified in our well-established local chapters in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio. Having boots on the ground in these major metropolitan cities, which represent nearly a quarter of Texas's 29 million citizens, enables our gifted, dedicated experts to disseminate fact-based, relevant solar information. Activities include conduct outreach to low- to moderate-income communities to provide education on rooftop and community solar projects. Coordinate without state chapters in Austin, North Texas, Houston, El Paso, and San Antonio to educate more Texans about the benefits of solar energy. Enable pathways to jobs and opportunities for advancement in solar energy for women and students of color throughout the state. This includes high school, higher education, and community-level individuals. Educate rural electric cooperatives and small utilities about the benefits of distributed and community solar. Connect with low- to moderate-income and underserved populations so they can be solar consumers. Send out monthly newsletters about current and related news in the distributed and community solar space. Working with TXSES chapter cities, the Solar Energy Internship Program (SEIP) will facilitate pathways to jobs and opportunities for advancement in solar energy for women and students of color. SEIP will recruit solar energy companies to participate, develop a set of best practices for solar energy companies to improve diverse and inclusive recruitment and hiring processes, and engage in ongoing mentorship development.Expenses $257,581 · grants $70,000 · revenue $13,474
