Maximum award amount of $2.75M for planning or construction of a project in following category:

  • Solar Paired with Battery Storage

  • Low-income Community Solar

  • Large Scale Solar Innovation

  • Dual Use Solar

  • Hard to Decarbonize

  • Solar Installations on Existing Public Buildings

  • Clean Energy Siting and Permitting

Eligible applicants vary by project category, but a broad range of entity types (non-profit, for profit, educational/research institutions, federally recognized tribes, governments) are eligible for most categories.

Hurry, the application period for this funding round exclusively for projects benefitting overburdened communities and vulnerable populations closes 12pm PDT, April 8th. If you miss this round, there is one more round launching in late spring 2024.
