Participating property owners are required to engage and educate tenants about SOMAH and provide them with SOMAH-approved information on energy efficiency, time-of-use rates, bill interpretation, solar training opportunities and resources for additional support and information. The tenant engagement toolkit is a resource for property owners to meet the requirement and maximize benefits for your tenants. Download the tenant engagement strategies flyer for more ideas.
