The $7 billion federal Solar for All competition is set to make an unprecedented investment in improving access to solar and associated energy storage and efficiency for low-to-moderate income (LMI) and disadvantaged communities across the United States. Considering the average income of solar adopters was $117,000 in 2022, Solar for All's emphasis on reaching LMI and disadvantaged homeowners and renters is a significant step towards democratizing the benefits of the nation's growing deployment of distributed and community-based solar, aiming to bridge the gap for hundreds of thousands of households previously excluded from the benefits of solar adoption.

The $8.6 billion in home energy rebates in the Inflation Reduction Act represent a rare opportunity to energize the residential market for energy efficiency, electrification, and a host of other distributed energy resources (DERs). Whether states realize this opportunity will hinge on how they design rebate programs, engage with consumers, and institute broader policies to spur the DER ecosystem.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has the potential to be a game-changer for the clean energy industry and for consumers across the country, but only if electric utilities respond to the rapidly changing market conditions. The IRA’s potential is being put to the test in real-time across the country as power providers continue proposing to build new fossil fuel generation, despite shifting economics.
