Native American reservations and communities in other rural areas, including some tribal lands in Arizona, will get access to renewable energy through 17 projects to be funded by the U.S. government. The projects are to be done in 20 states and involve 30 tribes. A $9 million project will partner ASU and the Hopi tribe in building solar energy panels and battery storage. It will provide a reliable source of power as well as cleaner energy for the tribe’s members, says Kristen Parrish, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools.
