The State of California's Solar for All (S4A) Program is a grant-based initiative funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to expand solar access for low-income and disadvantaged communities. Administered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Energy Commission (CEC), and the Employment Development Department (EDD), the program aims to reduce electricity costs for eligible households, support multifamily affordable housing solar installations, and invest in workforce development.

IOU-S4A Community Solar: Approximately $190.2 million; $19 million of this budget is reserved for projects on tribal lands; if unallocated after 3 years, these funds will revert to the general IOU-S4A Community Solar allocation.

IOU-S4A SOMAH: Around $9.7 million is designated for the Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program, providing site readiness grants to affordable multifamily housing participants to facilitate rooftop solar and associated storage installations, including tribal customers

TBD

SOMAH provides financial incentives to substantially offset the cost of a solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for multifamily buildings. Designed to maximize community benefits, the program requires that the majority of the system directly powers tenant meters, but also provides incentives for common area loads. More than 3,500 properties across the state encompassing nearly 255,000 individual households qualify for incentives under the program. The SOMAH program also provides a suite of no-cost services to make it easier for properties to go solar, including financial incentives, technical support, and tenant education resources.

The incentive is paid based on verified solar energy system characteristics such as location, system size, shading and orientation. The amount of the incentive depends on the size of the installed system, the energy percentage split between tenant and common area serving-load and the other funding resources that the project may leverage, such as the federal investment tax credit (ITC) and low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC).

$100 million annually, or 66.67 percent of available funds, whichever is less, from the investor-owned utilities' (IOU) share of greenhouse gas (GHG) auction proceeds.

The incentive amounts are specifically capped by each IOU territory. The specific IOU allocation will depend on that IOU's auction proceeds, which may vary. Projects may only receive incentives from the IOU in which the project is located and interconnected.

SOMAH launch: July 1, 2019. Funding is available through an open application period while program funds remain.

To Apply: Complete and submit the Technical Assistance (TA) interest form to begin the application process. Public Forums and trainings are held regularly.

Funds for the SOMAH Program can be authorized through 2026, if funds are available and interest in the program remains. The program is authorized to run without additional allocated funds until December 31, 2030.

Funding tends to be released in June/July. Sometimes January.

The Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Development (BUILD) Program is a residential building decarbonization program established by SB 14777 in 2018 that provides incentives and optional technical assistance to support the adoption of advanced building design and all-electric technologies in new, low-income all-electric homes.

It is designed to encourage the adoption of clean energy technologies in affordable housing developments, reduce long-term utility costs for both owners and residents, build in-house capacity for all-electric building through up to 300 hours of no-cost technical assistance, and to improve access to clean energy for low-income Californians.

$80M appropriated for funding; as of Sept 2024, PG&E and SDG&E are nearly fully subscribed, and SoCal Gas has $9M remaining.
$2M Program Cap per applicant for incentives and reservations
Up to $100K in New Adopter incentive for applicants constructing their first all-electric low-income multifamily building -- does not count against Program Cap limit

The $2M cap per applicant remains.
New Adopter Design Award: Confirmed up to $100K, but must now be reimbursed against direct costs (architectural, engineering, energy consultation).

Ongoing through July 1, 2033. Unspent funds as of this date will be returned to the ratepayers of the respective gas corporations. Program Guidelines Approved: February 28, 2022.
Applications for the Design and Construction Reservation Timing are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Design and Construction reservations will be approved in accordance with funding amounts attributed to each specific gas utility territory while funds are available.

Applications for the New Adopter Design Award will be reviewed on a first-come, first served basis.

All applicants that do not meet the project requirements for Step 2 (construction reservation) within 18 months, and any approved extension, will have their design reservations cancelled by the CEC and will have to re-apply to seek BUILD incentives for the project. Eligible applicants will be notified electronically in writing, in a format prescribed by the CEC.

This program helps states and local governments improve their building energy codes to increase efficiency and enforce cutting-edge standards.
