Welcome to our guide on the Equity Resiliency Program, a vital component of the California Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) aimed at promoting energy equity and resilience among all Californians.
The Equity Resiliency Program is a special initiative within SGIP designed to ensure equitable access to solar and storage solutions for all Californians, regardless of income level or geographic location.
By providing additional incentives and support, the program aims to address disparities in access to clean energy technologies and enhance energy resilience in underserved communities.
Increased Energy Resilience: Participants in the Equity Resiliency Program gain access to solar and storage solutions, which can help them remain resilient during power outages and emergencies.
Cost Savings: By harnessing clean energy from the sun and storing excess energy for later use, participants can reduce their reliance on the grid and lower their electricity bills.
Environmental Impact: By transitioning to renewable energy sources, participants contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable environment for future generations.
