All nonprofits offering social services are eligible, as long as they meet our minimum size requirement (roughly 2,500 sq ft or the size of a large single-family home for a single site). Do I need to own my building(s)?
I t is easiest to install solar on a building you own. In some cases, we are able to work with tenants who have roof rights, long-term leases, or strong working relationships with their landlords. What if my organization doesn’t have the money to install solar despite the SUN program?
As part of our feasibility analysis, we explore both ownership and no-cost solar options with you. If you proceed with the ownership route, we can help you apply for grants to cover outstanding costs. If you proceed with a no-cost option, the system will be installed at no-cost to you.
