California sees huge demand for Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing program

By Kelsey Misbrener | August 8, 2019
Within solar slewing drive the solar energy  first day of accepting Solar Project applications, California’s Solar Project new Solar solar energy on Multifamily Affordable Housing Solar Project (SOMAH) program is nearly fully subscribed, solar tracker actuator having Solar Project received more than Solar Project 240 applications representing over Solar Project 74 solar slewing drive MW of solar power generating solar energy solar slewing drive capacity and solar tracker actuator $163 million in reserved  solar solar tracker actuator energy Photovoltaic solar slewing drive holder funding.

The solar inverter SOMAH solar energy program Photovoltaic solar slewing drive holder provides Solar Project property owners with Solar Project financial solar energy incentives solar energy for installing solar solar inverter PV energy solar slewing drive systems on solar slewing drive housing solar energy serving low-income slewing drive and Solar Project disadvantaged communities throughout the Solar Project state. It was passed Photovoltaic holder by the state legislature in solar energy Photovoltaic holder slewing drive 2017.

The Solar Project high-solar inverter volume solar energy of applications slewing drive resulted Photovoltaic holder solar slewing drive in SOMAH’s Solar Project first-year funding allocations being exhausted in three of Solar solar damper Project the five utility company Photovoltaic holder territories the program is available Solar Project in. Properties solar energy solar damper located in Pacific Gas and Electric Company and solar damper Southern solar energy California Solar Project Edison solar inverter Company service territories can solar energy still Solar Project solar slewing drive apply to secure their place on solar damper a waitlist for next year’Solar Project s funding. In the San Diego Gas & Electric Company territory, Photovoltaic holder Photovoltaic holder current funding slewing drive is exhausted and its waitlist will close solar energy August solar inverter 19 to preserve future funding and Solar Project solar inverter avoid lengthy solar energy waitlist times. Properties Solar Project in PacifiCorp and Liberty Utilities solar energy Company Solar Project slewing drive territories currently have funding Photovoltaic holder available to solar energy Solar Project them this solar energy solar inverter year.
 

The program solar solar Photovoltaic holder damper solar inverter damper will solar inverter continue to operate for the next ten solar slewing drive years with solar inverter renewed solar damper slewing drive annual funding of up to solar slewing drive $100 million solar slewing drive  per year from the solar slewing drive California solar inverter slewing drive Climate solar damper Investments  solar damper solar inverter slewing drive initiative.
 

“We’re solar tracker actuator pleased solar damper that solar inverter the demand for SOMAH incentives solar damper that slewing drive we’ve been hearing from solar damper property owners and solar contractors has materialized solar inverter into solar damper so many applications,” Photovoltaic holder said Jae Berg,solar tracker actuator program solar damper manager,solar damper SOMAH program. “The slewing drive applications we’ve received tend to represent large-solar damper scale projects and the solar allocation for tenant solar damper areas is solar damper at nearly solar inverter solar tracker actuator 90%.Photovoltaic holder  We interpret this as the program doing exactly slewing drive what we planned solar damper — converting solar damper the energy consumption of a Photovoltaic holder significant number of Photovoltaic slewing drive holder low-income solar damper tenants to solar power and enabling them to slewing drive benefit from solar damper renewable solar tracker Photovoltaic holder actuator energy slewing drive and lower utility Photovoltaic holder slewing drive costs.”
 

This quick solar tracker actuator start means solar damper SOMAH Photovoltaic holder has slewing drive already solar tracker actuator reserved funds for solar slewing drive nearly solar tracker actuator 25% of its overall goal of 300 solar damper solar damper slewing drive   Photovoltaic holder MW of solar installations solar inverter in solar slewing drive the program’s first year solar solar tracker actuator damper of operation. However,solar tracker actuator the program’s solar inverter administrators solar slewing drive say they still solar inverter encourage interested parties solar damper to solar tracker actuator apply where waitlists are open to solar damper solar slewing drivelock in current slewing drive incentive rates solar inverter for projects next year.
 

Incentive levels solar inverter will solar slewing drive be reduced annually starting solar tracker actuator  July 1, 2020, slewing drive by either 5% or based on the solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive National solar inverter Renewable Energy solar damper Lab’s cost Photovoltaic holder analysis, whichever is less. Applications  solar slewing drive added to the solar tracker actuator waitlists slewing drive will be considered for funding in the order they are received solar damper and solar damper may be eligible for the first year’s incentive rates solar tracker actuator once the solar slewing drive  next cycle of funding solar inverter is appropriated, solar slewing drive which likely will be solar slewing drive during the first solar slewing drive quarter solar damper 2020. While two utility territory waitlists are currently open, the SOMAH program administrator may solar slewing drive close waitlists to ensure solar slewing drive adequate solar damper funding for future solar tracker actuator years.
