1. Model Solar Projects, Mesa, AZ

Through a small grant from the Center for Renewable Resources and a matching grant from the Arizona Solar Energy Commission, the Arizona Solar Energy Association has produced a state-wide catalogue of model solar projects. This catalogue presents some of the best solar and conservation projects in the state. It includes solar buildings, educational programs, community development programs, agricultural and industrial projects, state and legislative efforts, and commercial and business programs. Project selection was based on five main considerations: (1) cost-effectiveness, (2) valuable use of resources, (3) generation of jobs and transfer of skills, (4) replicability, and (5) scope. Shorter descriptions of significant projects not meeting the selection criteria were also included. The development of the catalogue program, its use and impact as a networking tool and the development and implementation of a regular updating program are described. The success of this type of program on information exchange, public education, and cross fertilization are explored. Special emphasis projects from the catalogue are also described.
