A Big Step for EV Charging in Imperial Valley! ??? The new charging station at Calexico Crossroads Mall isn’t just about convenience—it’s about building a cleaner, more connected community. This project was supported by CALeVIP, a state-funded EV charging incentive project that CSE is proud to implement. #CalEnergy #EVCharging #CALeVIP https://lnkd.in/gmXseh5z

Rooftop #solar can substantially reduce homeowners’ energy bills, but few low-income families can afford to buy and install a solar energy system. The The City of San Diego’s energy franchise agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric? called for creating an incentive program for low-income residents of neighborhoods most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Read the case study on the San Diego Solar Equity Program and learn how it is providing solar energy systems at little to no cost to homeowners. #equity #NASEO2025https://lnkd.in/gEZFf7F6

Low-income families in apartment buildings are not in a position to install #solar energy systems, and yet often bear the greatest burden from high energy costs. The Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing Program (SOMAH) provides financial incentives that cover up to 85% of the costs of installing solar energy systems, delivering clean power and energy bill credits for both residents and property owners. The program offers a template and lessons for states and cities looking to deploy solar programs. Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/gXQg2MhQ #NASEO2025 #equity #SOMAH

Installing #solar on multifamily affordable housing delivers lower energy costs and greater resilience for both property owners and tenants. Yet, this market remains underserved and underutilized. What’s needed? ?? Stronger incentive programs beyond CA’s pioneering SOMAH initiative ?? Contractor support to expand solar in the multifamily sector ?? Financing options to bridge gaps and ensure project completion ?? Community engagement for outreach and program success ?? Tenant-focused incentives to maximize benefits CSE shares key insights from over 15 years of managing solar incentive programs, offering practical solutions for policymakers and energy leaders to expand solar access in affordable housing nationwide. ??
