Utility Energy Efficiency & Solar Programs for Multifamily and Single Family Housing, Including Affordable Housing
Utility Energy Efficiency & Solar Program Summaries
California’s various Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) and Publicly-Owned Utilities (POUs) offer a variety of Energy-Efficiency and Solar programs designed to assist single-family and multifamily owners in covering or deferring the cost of making their properties go green. Participants (and end-users) in CDLAC’s housing-related allocation programs are strongly urged to review the utilities’ program information below to see if any of these programs can assist them in lowering their current or anticipated energy-related expenses.

Low Income Weatherization
Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) has an agreement with the Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC) to provide Weatherization services and Energy Star refrigerators to existing dwellings for its low income customers (up to 80% of the Orange County median income). APU provides funding to assist Anaheim electric customers who have electric energy use for their space heating, space cooling and/or electric water heating needs. CAPOC is also the lead agency that provides Weatherization services within Anaheim’s service territory for customers that use natural gas for the same end uses. Towards that end CAPOC may also be reporting all of their Anaheim based services through their Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) reporting requirements.
Neighborhood Comprehensive Revitalization for Low-income, Multi-family Customers
Anaheim Public Utilities provides grant funding up to $1,500 per unit for the revitalization of neighborhood projects which include specific energy efficiency upgrades in the rehabilitation. All projects are pre-determined and identified as revitalization neighborhoods

General Market California Solar Initiative
The California Solar Initiative General Market Program provides solar incentives for existing homes, as well as new commercial, industrial, government, non-profit, and agricultural properties within the three Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) territories.
Incentives are provided based on the expected or actual performance of the installed solar system (dollars per watts); there are no per housing unit limits. Payment is made upon completion of the installation and proof of interconnection.
Single-family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH)
The California Solar Initiative Low-income program is for single family customers that meet affordability covenant eligibility requirements in the three IOU territories. Eligibility is less than or equal to 80% of Area Median Income. The intent of the program is to provide low-income single-family homeowners with access to photovoltaic systems to decrease electricity usage without increasing monthly expenses.
Multi-family Affordable Solar Homes (MASH)
California Solar Initiative Low-income program for low-income multi-family customers that meet affordability covenant eligibility requirements in the three IOU territories. The intent of the program is to provide low-income multi-dwellings with access to photovoltaic systems to decrease electricity usage without increasing monthly expenses. Payment is made upon proof of interconnection.
California Solar Initiative (CSI) Solar Thermal Program (Solar Water Heating)
Launched in May 2010 after a successful 18-month pilot program in San Diego, the Solar Thermal Program provides up-front incentives of up to $1,875 for qualifying systems. The Solar Thermal Program is designed to displace not only electric water heaters, but gas water heating systems as well.
CA Multi-Family New Homes Program (CMFNH) and Multifamily Rebate Program
The CMFNH Program facilitates and encourages energy-efficient design in multi-family housing through education, design assistance and incentives in order to achieve exceeding Title 24 compliance by at least 15% for building envelope, space conditioning equipment and water heating equipment; and having positive electric savings as per Title 24. The Heschong Mahone Group, Inc (HMG) is administering this new construction energy efficiency program as a third-party on behalf of PG&E in PY2010-2012.
The Multifamily Rebate Program offers rebates for common area and dwelling unit energy efficiency improvements in existing buildings.
Whole House Program - Residential Retrofit Programs
Residential Retrofit Rebate Programs provide rebates for the purchase of qualifying energy efficient appliances and equipment for single-family homes. The Whole House programs will enable residential customers and contractors to conduct comprehensive home energy retrofits.
California Advanced Homes Program
