California's Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) Program benefits participants on many levels: Property Owners, Tenants, Job Seekers, Contractors, and Housing Agencies.
The program will deliver clean power and credits on energy bills to hundreds of thousands of California’s affordable housing residents.
The SOMAH Program is designed to help reduce costs associated with solar panel installation for your multifamily affordable property. To help California reach its objective to move toward using efficient resources, this program has developed financing options to alleviate the portion of costs that are not covered by the program.
SOMAH provides you with no-cost, whole-building technical assistance (TA) and support services focused on solar PV, energy efficiency and coordination with other energy-related programs. SOMAH TA is available to all participating projects in the SOMAH Program at any stage in the application process.
Estimate your SOMAH incentive by entering your total system kilowatt (kW) size for the whole property, as well as tenant and common area allocation percentages. Estimating total kW for your property may be difficult without tenant energy consumption knowledge.
Get paid, hands-on experience and expand your professional opportunities in the solar energy industry. Explore all your options in the field as a photovoltaic (PV) installer, project designer or project manager.
