About Solar for All

Learn about Massachusetts' Solar for All program

Under the $7 billion Solar for All (SFA) program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded funds to 60 grant recipients, including states, territories, Tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofits, to expand the number of low-income and disadvantaged communities able to access solar. These grant recipients will enable millions of low-income households to benefit from affordable, resilient, and clean solar energy. Grantees are using funds to expand existing low-income solar programs and to design and deploy new SFA programs nationwide.

Massachusetts received a $156 million award under SFA to implement programs across the Commonwealth.  To learn more about the program, visit EPA's official SFA webpage.
