The Bay Area Regional Collaborative is hosting to the first bi-monthly work session hosted through the Bay Area Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Ordinance program. These work sessions will convene technical experts, as well as regional and local partners as appropriate to assist jurisdictions through the adoption of a basic ordinance, and to provide information on ordinance enhancements that jurisdictions may wish to explore. All meetings will be remotely accessible. The first online work session is scheduled for Monday, October 23rd, from 2 pm – 3:30 pm. Webinar details are below.
