Solar for All

New Hampshire will receive more than $43 million through the EPA’s Solar for All program to bring the benefits of solar to low income households across the state.

New Hampshire’s Solar for All Program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that the State of New Hampshire has been selected to receive $43,510,000 from the Solar for All competitive grant program. EPA announced $7 billion in grant awards nationwide. New Hampshire’s application was a partnership between the New Hampshire Department of Energy as lead applicant, the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, and New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. 

New Hampshire will use the funding in a variety of complementary ways to help low-income households and communities to deploy and benefit from community solar projects. The Department of Energy will use funding to scale up its existing community solar program. The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund will help resident-owned communities install community solar through their ROC-NH program and New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority will use funding to install residential-serving community solar on workforce housing projects and public housing authority owned properties.

New Hampshire’s Solar for All Program is a community solar program and is not a residential solar program. 

At this time, we are still waiting final EPA guidance on this program. This page will be updated as additional information becomes available.
