The Solstice Project Mission is to improve energy equity in the communities we serve. This initiative provides income qualified homeowners the opportunity to partake in making our world a better place through clean energy produced by solar on their home. There are many programs to help make a solar investment affordable to income-qualified homeowners, but there are still two significant barriers to entry for this population.
- Installing solar takes upfront cash
- Receiving the 30% federal tax credit require a tax liability

Protection From Rate Hikes
Electricity costs are continually rising. Going solar insulates you from rate spikes and protects your monthly budget.
