The Solar America Board for Codes and Standards (Solar ABCs) improves responsiveness, effectiveness, and accessibility of codes and standards to U.S. solar stakeholders at all levels.

The Solar ABCs enhances the practice of developing, implementing, and disseminating solar codes and standards in the following ways:

• By providing formal coordination in the planning and revision of separate, though interrelated, solar codes and standards.
• By providing access for stakeholders to participate with members of standards making bodies in setting national priorities on technical issues.
• By developing a centralized repository for collection and dissemination of documents, regulations, and technical materials related to solar codes and standards.
• By creating a centralized home for three key technical services:
  a) generating consensus 'best practices' materials and disseminating such materials to utilities, state and other regulating agencies,
  b) answering code-related questions (technical or statutory in nature),
  c) providing feedback on important related issues to DOE and government agencies.
