New portable solar charger contest

Ready to power-up your clean energy journey? Our Community Energy Ambassadors program helps you advance clean energy projects within your community. 

You'll gain access to the knowledge and skills needed to help others meaningfully participate in the clean energy transition. You'll support communities in their efforts to start clean energy projects with relevant resources and connections. As community members engage in energy decision making, their voices will be well-informed and centered in the priorities of their community. 

We're offering an incentive to encourage more of people to complete the Community Energy Ambassadors checklist. Take the steps to becoming a CERTified Community Energy Ambassador and you will be entered in a drawing to win one of several portable solar panel chargers!

Anyone who completes the checklist (watch the training videos, develop a project idea, report back), submitting their final project report before December 1, 2025, will be eligible for the drawing. 

Congratulations to our September winners: Kristine A., Terri K., Ryan P., Dave S., and Brooke T.!

We'll announce the winners at our December Community Energy Ambassadors Coffee Chat.

  1. Complete the tasks in the Community Energy Ambassador checklist.
  2. Submit your project report by December 1.
  3. We'll enter your name in a drawing for one of several portable solar panel chargers!

Learn how simple it is to become a CERTified Community Energy Ambassador!
