Funding Sources

Pursue funding early so projects do not stall. Options often include:

• Government grants and incentives.
• Utility rebates and on-bill financing.
• Foundation or nonprofit grants.
• Green loans and energy-service performance contracts.
• Partnerships with local agencies or colleges.

Keep a running list of open programs, application windows, and contacts. For state and utility incentives, see DSIRE and your utility account representative.
