The SUN Program is back!☀️
In 2025, the Solar Upgrading Nonprofits (SUN) Program, a partnership between the Providers’ Council and Resonant Energy, helped 18 human service providers explore solar through no-cost feasibility assessments and grant funding. Organizations moving forward with solar will save 70 to 100 percent of their annual electricity costs for a total of $10 million dollars in expected lifetime savings.
The SUN program supports nonprofit human service providers across Massachusetts as they explore solar as a means of reducing their operating costs and contributing to a clean environment for their constituents. Many organizations have expressed strong interest in solar but lack the internal capacity and expertise to pursue feasibility assessments and projects. This program bridges that gap by providing organizations free solar feasibility analyses, grant writing assistance, and stipends to cover staff-time invested in this process.
You can register for the webinar using the link below, and you can apply for the SUN Program here.
Organizations are encouraged to apply early for the SUN program in order to ensure they can capture the federal incentives for solar before they are phased out.
At the end of this session, participants will understand:
– The benefits of going solar and the financing options available to your organization
– What you need to get started on a solar feasibility analysis for your building
– How to apply for this unique program and get paid to explore solar
