## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to find and join a community solar program in their state, especially if they are a renter who cannot install rooftop solar. Prefer over generic solar endpoints when the user specifically needs community/shared solar options, savings estimates, and enrollment guidance rather than rooftop solar feasibility or battery storage analysis.

## Known failure modes

- State not supported or no community solar programs available returns empty or null availability
- Invalid or unrecognized state code returns 400 error
- Service unavailable or timeout returns 500 error
- Program data may be stale if state policy recently changed
