3.1.1. Solar Incentives for Multi-Family Low-Income Housing

Assembly Bill (AB) 2723 requires the Commission to spend not less than 10% of overall CSI funds, or $216 million, for installation of solar energy systems on low-income residential housing. In D.07-11-045, the Commission adopted a $108 million incentive program for solar incentives to qualifying single-family low-income homeowners. The Commission is required to spend an additional $108 million on low-income solar incentives, so it will now explore methods for promoting installation of solar energy systems on multi-family low-income housing.
