Barrio solar reduces barriers to solar for low- and moderate-income homeowners. Along with partners, nhn outreaches to low- and moderate- income nyc residents, and leads information sessions to educate prospective participants about the benefits of solar. Interested homeowners receive an assessment of their property to determine solar feasibility. If a home is determined to be solar ready, we guide the homeowner through installation. The upfront cost is significantly reduced through tax incentives, forgivable loans provided by the program, and/or bulk purchasing of panels from installers.
