Connecticut Green Bank brings solar and storage to affordable multifamily housing

Connecticut's Green Bank is bringing solar energy and storage to eight affordable multifamily housing properties, aiming to significantly reduce energy bills for hundreds of residents. The Solar Marketplace Assistance Program Plus (Solar MAP+) provides no-cost technical and design support, enabling 473 units to access clean energy. This initiative is projected to save property owners approximately $569,000 over the lifetime of the panels. The program targets properties with at least five units where a majority of residents earn below 60% of the area median income, making renewable energy accessible to those who benefit most.
