California's clean energy future depends on policy grounded in evidence, not ideology. SolarWAVE Action produces rigorous legal and data research and translates it into advocacy that moves lawmakers to act.
California sits at the center of America's clean energy transformation — and at the center of its most contentious energy policy debates. SolarWAVE Action exists to ensure those debates are shaped by evidence and grounded in law.
We are a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing equitable, data-driven clean energy policy across California. Our team produces rigorous legal analysis coupled with open-source data analysis, then translates those findings into clear reports, legislative testimony, and policy recommendations that lawmakers and advocates can actually use.
We don't accept funding that constrains our conclusions. We publish every assumption, every dataset, and every line of code behind our work. Because clean energy policy that doesn't hold up to scrutiny won't hold up in a court of law.
Every publication includes our software, data sources, and legal resources — open to anyone who wants to check our work.
We do not accept funding that constrains our research conclusions. Our findings go where the evidence leads.
A clean energy future that doesn't serve all Californians isn't worth advocating for. Equity is embedded in every policy recommendation we make.
We pair rigorous legal analysis with transparent data analysis built on open-source software and credible public datasets — publishing our research, models, and methodologies so our work can be independently verified.
We publish reports, articles, and data visualizations designed for p olicymakers, advocates, and the public — translating complex energy economics and policy into accessible, actionable insight.
We bring our research directly into the policy arena — engaging lawmakers, regulators, the public, and stakeholders with concrete proposals to safeguard and expand our clean energy infrastructure and access rights.
Whether you want to support our research, follow our work, or partner with us on advocacy — there's a place for you in our clean energy future.
