Join the Conversation: Help Shape Vermont's Solar for All Program & Get Paid for Your Input!
Vermont’s Solar for All program is here to help more Vermonters, particularly those with low incomes, access the benefits of solar energy. Thanks to federal funding, the Vermont Department of Public Service is rolling out three exciting opportunities to make solar power more affordable for everyone. One of these opportunities is the Residential Assistance in Solar Energy (RAISE) Program—and we need YOUR help to make it work for people just like you!
What is RAISE? The RAISE program is designed to provide financial support to help Vermonters with low incomes install small solar panels on their homes, saving money on energy bills.
Your Voice Matters! In April, the Vermont Department of Public Service is hosting four focus group discussions to get feedback on how to make the RAISE program a success. We want to hear from YOU! Whether you're curious about the Solar for All program and want to learn more, or have ideas on how to make the program better, this is your chance to have a say in how this program is shaped.
Why Should You Participate?
- Your Time is Valuable: Participants will receive a $50 gift card just for sharing your thoughts!
- Enjoy Light Refreshments: Snacks and drinks will be provided at the in-person events to keep you energized.
- Make a Difference: Your feedback will directly impact how solar energy is made available to low-income Vermonters.
While all are welcome to participate, we are particularly interested in hearing perspectives of potential program participants.
