The non-profit purposes
for which this organization has been formed are as follows:
- To increase the application
of solar energy practices through education and training to
end-users and suppliers of solar devices.
- To provide a means whereby
users of solar devices and services, and their suppliers can
exchange information, experience, and concepts to the mutual
benefit of the individual members and the Tucson metropolitan
area. The primary focus of the organization in the medium term
(2000-2003) is the inclusion of solar devices in the urban
Tucson metropolitan area. Secondary focus is on smaller, rural
communities in the greater metropolitan area.
- To encourage the
coordination of energy efficiency practices and the use of the
Sustainable Energy Standard, in the context of solar energy
practices, throughout the community.
- To investigate and evaluate
new solar programs and technologies to increase the energy
self-sufficiency of our community and its general welfare.
- To pursue funding
opportunities and investments which accelerate the deployment
of solar devices.
- To actively promote,
support, and encourage the maintenance and development of a
vigorous, viable, and dynamic solar energy capability to meet
the needs of our community.
To these ends, the Coalition
proposes to "conduct meetings; to publish articles and other
materials; to cooperate with other organizations interested in the
advancement of solar practices; to support the development of high
professional standards; to generate funding and, in general, to
promote the growth of solar energy and to improve practice
throughout the region." |
