New Jersey is setting a commendable example for the rest of the nation with its Low-Income Solar Program, designed to make renewable energy more accessible to households that need it the most. This initiative brings the benefits of clean energy directly to low- and moderate-income communities, ensuring that everyone can participate in the transition to a greener future.
Expanding Solar Accessibility through Strategic Funding
The New Jersey Low-Income Solar Program is funded through a combination of state and federal support, ensuring a robust financial foundation for this essential work. In addition to state funding from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), federal tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provide significant incentives for both developers and participants. The BPU has allocated millions to create solar installations that reduce costs for low-income families while encouraging broader solar adoption statewide.
