FREE Solar Systems to low income home owners
FREE Solar Electric Systems
In an effort to ease the burden of high utility costs and to help the environment, North Coast Energy Services (NCES) will be offering FREE solar electric systems—including installation and home weatherization—to qualifying homeowners in Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano Counties. This pilot program, funded by the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), is offered at no cost to qualifying homeowners. Qualification is based on the number of people in the home and current (within the previous six weeks at time of application) income.
Number of People in the Home - Monthly Income
1 - $2,482
2 - $3,246
3 - $4,010
4 - $4,774
In addition to income, the roof of the home must be in good shape and not be flat. Also, there are shading and roof position factors that need to be analyzed by a Real Goods Solar Power Consultant to make sure that the Solar Electric System will be efficient. Mobile homes are not eligible in this pilot program.
NCES is a non-profit organization that provides utility bill assistance and weatherization programs in seven Northern California counties, including Marin, Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa, Solano and Yolo. NCES will utilize two licensed contractors based in Mendocino County for this program, Gaia Energy Systems and Real Goods, to install the solar electric systems and provide home weatherization.
For more information on this program and to request an application, call Stephen Vick 415-250-0856
