Department of housing and urban development offers grants for home improvements using energy alternatives which can include solar panels.
Government grants for solar energy panels.
Part of this initiative was to provide a loan to homeowners which could be used to install solar panels.
Instead the departments provide grants to low income and rural areas alongside farms tribes schools and nonprofit organizations.
The green deal was launched in 2013 offering government grants for solar panels as a way of helping homeowners to make their homes more efficient in order to reduce their energy bills and reduce carbon emissions.
In july the government announced the new green homes grant which provides homeowners and landlords in england with 5 000 10 000 vouchers for energy saving renovations.
No typical residential solar energy grants are given directly at the federal level.
In an effort to incentivize the growth of solar power various departments within the federal government offer grants to make the transition more affordable.
Grants are available in low income areas.
