Solar on multifamily residences significantly saves operating costs by generating energy on-site and offsetting utility electricity rates.
Did you know most multifamily property owners spend about 10% of annual operating costs on energy? Once the initial investment in solar is recovered, property owners and tenants enjoy essentially free energy for decades!
California’s Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program provides financial incentives that substantially offset the costs of solar systems for multifamily buildings.
Designed to maximize community benefits, the program requires most of the system to directly power tenant meters. It provides incentives for common area loads—more than 3,500 properties across the state qualify for the program. Your property may be eligible!
The SOMAH program provides a suite of no-cost technical assistance and other services that make going solar easier.
These include Upfront Technical Assistance that helps you evaluate the benefits of solar and get started; Ongoing Technical Assistance that supports you throughout the application and installation process; Tenant Education Resources; and a hotline that helps your tenants understand the project’s impact on their energy bills.
