The Delaware Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) Solar Pilot Program provides grant funding to promote the use of renewable energy in low- and moderate-income households regardless of electric utility service territory. 

Low-income applicants can receive a cost-free solar system of up to 4 kW and cost-free weatherization services installed by a program-selected contractor. Moderate-income applicants can receive a reduced-cost solar system of up to 6 kW where the LMI solar program pays for 70% of the system installed by their choice of approved LMI solar contractor.

There are two ways to qualify for receiving a cost-free or reduced-cost solar installation: 

  • Low-income applicants must qualify through the Weatherization Assistance Program. Households must be 200% or below of the federal poverty income level.
  • Moderate-income applicants must qualify through an application that their chosen solar contractor submits to the Green Energy Program. Households must meet the listed state area median income or below for their county.

More program information and eligibility details can be found via the LMI solar program website and fact sheet.
