Grants and Loans for Solar

Take control of your energy costs and support a greener future with solar energy. Solar power can help reduce your electricity bill, lower pollution, and promote energy independence. We’re here to make it easier for low-income households in the Tucson Metropolitan Area to access rooftop solar systems through a partnership with Technicians For Sustainability (TFS). Together, we offer grants designed to bring solar power to those who need it most and free solar empowerment workshops, building environmental resilience in our community.
