California Center for Sustainable Energy

The Multifamily Affordable Solar Housing ( MASH) program provides incentive funds for solar PV power systems on qualifying low-income properties as part of the California Solar Initiative. One program, called Track 2, is a competitive grant proposal that allows property owners to get higher incentive payments.

The first cycle of the competitive MASH Track 2 grant began July 1 and will remain open until September 30. I am very excited about this new style of application because it should produce some innovative projects that include multiple forms of benefits to low-income tenants. On August 20, MASH program administrators held a workshop in San Francisco to discuss the Track 2 grant proposal and allow potential applicants to ask questions. Read the MASH presentation.

Be sure to contact me if you have any questions regarding Track 2 or any other part of the MASH program. For more information on the MASH program, including program applications, visit our MASH website.
