A unique opportunity to drive equitable deployment of solar energy
Solar for All Update
On August 7, 2025, the Trump Administration notified the Department of Energy Resources that it was cancelling the Solar for All program, including the $156 million in funding awarded to Massachusetts. As a result of this federal action, Massachusetts’ Solar for All program is on pause until further notice. We will continue to monitor the status of Solar for All funding and provide more information as it becomes available. The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office is challenging the EPA’s termination of Solar for All. More information can be found in this announcement.
Under the $7 billion federal Solar for All program, Massachusetts has been awarded $156 million to expand access to solar energy in low-income and historically disadvantaged communities (LIDACs). Solar for All programs will lower energy costs for thousands of qualifying households by financing solar installations in a variety of housing types. Residents will receive a minimum of 20% savings (or equivalent benefits) on average electric bills.
