Program Description: This program provides grant funding to City, County or Municipal government entities to support the planning and installation of solar arrays on existing infrastructure of public facilities. For the purpose of this grant program, a public facility is a facility/building where the local jurisdiction owns and controls the facility and uses the facility for its official purposes.

Grant assistance is available in two distinct Areas of Interest (AOI): funds for purchased systems (AOI 1), and funds for 3rd party owned systems (AOI 2).
