Organization Services

Founded in fall 2020, Black Owners of Solar Services (B.O.S.S.) is the largest collective of African American professionals in the solar photovoltaic space. The organization develops several core offerings: business-to-business mentorship and sponsorship programs connecting Black-owned solar firms with industry partners, policy briefs advocating equitable access to capital and procurement, and targeted workforce training initiatives focused on solar development, distribution, and storage. B.O.S.S. also coordinates federal funding support—like its $6.3 million DOE cooperative agreement—to help members navigate and secure government resources. Through collaborative programs with industry leaders, B.O.S.S. delivers actionable supports that uplift Black-owned solar businesses and empower their participation in the clean energy economy.
