PSE’s Solar Grants are funding to increase equitable access to the benefits of solar. Over the past seven years, PSE has awarded over $4,800,000 in total grant funding to 67 local solar projects.

These solar installations allow community-based organizations, government agencies and Tribal entities to save money through lower utility bills, increasing the funding available for them to support their communities.

The applications period is now closed for the 2023-24 round of Solar Grants! Another round of funding will open in June 2024.
