How SOMAH is Changing California
Mission
The SOMAH Program provides financial incentives for installing solar panel systems that benefit both low-income tenants and property owners throughout California.
It is designed to deliver renewable energy and credits on energy bills to hundreds of thousands of residents that otherwise would not have access for their homes. SOMAH's unique, community-based approach ensures long-term financial benefits for low-income households and property owners, helps accelerate the market for solar on multifamily housing and creates jobs in disadvantaged and low-income communities. The SOMAH Program is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission.
SOMAH is directed by the California Public Utilities Commission within the service territories of the following investor-owned utilities.
