The California Landlord Incentive program offers cash incentives to landlords for installing solar panels on their rental properties at no cost. This initiative aims to encourage landlords to adopt solar energy, thereby reducing the carbon footprint and energy costs for tenants. The program is funded through federal allocations from the Inflation Reduction Act, which are distributed at the state level via programs like the California Solar Initiative. This funding model not only supports California's ambitious green energy goals but also helps offset residents' annual true-up bills by increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources, promoting sustainability, and reducing reliance on traditional utility companies.
