Solar PV Grant

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:

Sustainable Energy will stop accepting ALL Clean Energy Program grant applications beginning June 24, 2022 and issue final fiscal year 2022 pre-qualifications on June 30, 2022. This moratorium is due to the mandatory fiscal year close-out process and relocation of Sustainable Energy to a new agency in fiscal year 2023. We will update the website and other communication channels when the moratorium has been lifted and new applications are being accepted.spacer-solid-line

The incentive amount depends on whether the system is owned by the homeowner or a third-party:

  1. If system is owned by the homeowner:
    • Grant awards up to $10,000 to cover eligible costs associated with installing a solar photovoltaic system.
    • Grant awards up to $2,000 to purchase and install a solar power outlet in case of grid failure.
  2. For third-party owned systems:
    • Grant awards up to $2,000 to cover eligible costs associated with installing a solar photovoltaic system.
    • Grant awards up to $2,000 to purchase and install a solar power outlet in case of grid failure.

Eligible costs include any parts, components, or accessory equipment necessary to operate and/or install the device. A maximum of 15% of the grant award can be spent on reasonable measures to facilitate the installation of the system on a home (for example, tree trimming).  DoE Sustainable Energy staff should be contacted to ensure the measure(s) qualifies.
