Funding is available for eligible 501(c) nonprofits to install solar panels, covering installation costs and necessary system components. This initiative supports sustainable energy practices while ensuring quality proposals through a competitive procurement process. Interested organizations should confirm eligibility with local electric utilities, as some areas may have restrictions on solar installations.
