Thanks for this info! I really wish there were programs that provided more genuine assistance with both solar and heat pumps. I know you can get some tax credits with heat pumps but they're really not enough to bring them into the realm of the possible for most families. I don't think I know a single person who wouldn't choose to switch to more environmentally friendly energy if they could afford it, and it's ridiculous that something necessary is being priced as something luxurious.
I agree! PACE was supposed to be that option - the affordable way to finance a clean energy transition - but, well, it quickly became a target of abuse. I'm sure there are some nonprofits that help in this space but definitely need to get to scale. I'd totally switch to solar if it were affordable, but the upfront cost is prohibitive.
