I was interested in the business case for solar on college campuses, given incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, so I joined data from IPEDS, DOE, NREL, etc. to get a feel. Certain regions of the US qualify as energy communities (pictured in gray), due to recent closure of a coal plant, etc.
