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