Solar for All – Public Information
Solar for All is a $7 billion competitive grants program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In April 2024, EPA awarded 60 grants to states, territories, Tribal governments, municipalities, and nonprofits to expand the number of low-income and disadvantaged communities primed for residential solar investment—enabling millions of low-income households to access affordable, resilient, and clean solar energy. To learn more about the prospective timeline of this program, see CESA’s Solar for All Briefing for Community-Based Organizations.
CESA convenes, informs, and assists the bipartisan network of states and nonprofit Solar for All grantees on a national scale.
The page below includes information sourced directly from Solar for All grantees such as contact details, public websites, program summaries, the narrative part of some applications, and relevant press.
It also provides maps of the states covered by multistate grantees , and information that is useful to Solar for All grantees such as examples of position descriptions or requests for proposals for programmatic functions necessary to deploy low-income solar programs. If you are aware of other resources that should be added to this page, please contact Vero Bourg-Meyer.
To learn more about the details of states’ plans and the potential impact of the Solar for All program, see CESA’s February 2024 report, Empowering Tomorrow: A Preview of States’ Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Solar for All Programs.
