Solar and Energy Loan Fund Information

The Solar and Energy Loan Fund (SELF), which administers the Clean Energy Loan Program, provides energy expertise and favorable financing to help property owners (residential and commercial) identify and make cost-effective energy retrofits, including: energy conservation; energy efficiency; and, renewable energy alternatives (e.g., solar). SELF clients are reducing their energy consumption by an average of 24% and using the energy savings to help pay off the loans over time. Rebates and tax credits may also apply to many of the 25 energy savings products financed through the Clean Energy Loan Program. SELF clients are also increasing their home equity, market value, and overall quality of life. The process begins with an energy assessment that identifies the most cost-effective types of home energy retrofits. The assessment is then followed by a private consultation with energy experts at SELF who help interpret the report and make additional recommendations. If the property owners need assistance with the upfront money to make these recommended improvements, the client can then apply for a low-interest loan through SELF.
