LMI Community Solar
Legislation
Source: 2011-2022: State Community Solar Landscape (2022); ^MN 2023: HF 2310 was signed into law, which opens the
state's community solar program up to more residential subscribers, specifically low- to moderate-income (LMI) households.
^MD 2023 HB 908 was signed into law, which requires 40% of community solar project outputs dedicated to LMI customers.
At least 17 states and the District of
Columbia have passed legislation
with stipulations that expand
community solar access for LMI
households.
There are two main types of
enabling policies for LMI
community solar:
Carve-outs in community solar
programs for projects for LMI
subscribers. For example, the
program can set aside a certain
percentage of capacity
dedicated to LMI subscribers.
Financial incentives and LMI
adders.
