Grant funding is available to promote the use of renewable energy in Delaware for low- and moderate-income households. The LMI program will be used to develop a statewide solar program that will provide services for low- to moderate-income homes regardless of their electric utility service territory. There are two different pathways to qualify for receiving a cost-free or reduced-cost solar installation on your home.

For low-income households, applications and approvals are obtained through the Weatherization Assistance Program , which serves low-income households with cost-free weatherization. For moderate-income households, applications and approvals are obtained through the Green Energy Program , with applicants specifically requesting the reduced-cost solar installation as a moderate-income household.
