Kevin is the Senior Director of Community Solar Markets for the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA) where he leads the organization’s efforts in existing community solar markets across the country. Beyond pureplay community solar CCSA is actively increasing its focus on incorporating energy storage systems into our work either as addons to distribution connected solar arrays or as standalone assets, under a verity of program structures. His work largely focuses on managing a team of Regional Directors who engage at state legislatures and public utility commissions advocating for pro-community solar policies to expand or refine markets on behalf of CCSA’s member companies. Prior to taking on his current role he was CCSA’s Mountain West Regional Director, overseeing their operations in Colorado, Minnesota, and New Mexico for almost 5 years. Before working at CCSA Kevin spent almost 7 years at Xcel Energy managing a portfolio of distributed energy programs across several states, including the community solar programs in Colorado and Minnesota. This combined twelve years of experience has given him a real-world understanding, from multiple perspectives, of implementing different policy frameworks and changes in some of the country’s largest and longest standing community solar markets. When not at work Kevin spends most of his time traveling with his family and seeking adventure outdoors.
