Low-Income Solar (a Massachusetts program). www.lowincomesolar.org/best-practices/massachusetts/ Since 2018 this program comes under the Massachusetts SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) program. The SMART program sets base compensation rates for solar projects, and includes adders for certain types of projects. Among these are “community solar, in which half of the energy output will serve low-income customers, will be awarded 6 cents per kwh on top of the base compensation rate”. Other incentives are also offered. At www.lowincomesolar.org many other city and state programs to incentivize the acceleration of solar power in low-income communities are described.
