Upgrade your multifamily affordable housing properties with on-site solar energy! By switching to solar, you can reduce operating expenses, open new revenue streams, and add lasting value for both owners and tenants. Many multifamily property owners spend around 10% of annual operating costs on energy – why not cut that down? Once installed, solar energy can provide decades of virtually free electricity, maximizing returns and helping you reinvest in your property and community.

California’s Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program provides financial incentives that substantially offset the costs of solar systems for multifamily buildings.
