The solar energy for all programs to continue to cover the costs of electrical panelupgrades and roof repairs for qualified projects. It will also expand the pilot program for Home Battery pilot until 2025 to continue to learn about linking solar and energy storage technologies.
The DCSEEU has updated the program to streamline applications for affordable home electrification and solar energy for everyone to confirm the program -close program faster and to enable residents to request both programs at the same time. It launched a tool for customers to find services that are suitable for their needs. The DCSEU made higher stimuli and more options for various electrification and fuel switching upgrades that are not limited by income limits.

DC households that are eligible for free electrification upgrades via AHEP are also eligible for single-family family or community benefits via solar energy for everyone, which limits potential increases to their electricity accounts.
