Californias SGIP Program Faces Delays, Threatening Solar Developers and Low-Income Families The California Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), aimed at providing free solar panels and battery storage to low-income families, is facing significant delays. The program, launched last summer with $280 million, has approved only one small project so far, leaving hundreds of applications pending. The delays have caused financial strain for solar developers and left low-income households waiting for energy upgrades as summer approaches. The California Public Utilities Commission has paused payments due to cost discrepancies and is now allowing partial payments with additional documentation. However, audits and spending deadlines loom, leaving the future of the program uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
