How to Apply for Delaware Solar Install Grants

To qualify for Delaware Solar Grants, applicants must meet the eligibility requirements of one of the two available income‑based programs. Each program provides a different level of financial support, ensuring that solar energy remains accessible to households across the state.

If you qualify for the Low‑Income Program, your solar installation may be covered at 100%, meaning your system is installed at no cost to you. This option is designed to remove all financial barriers and allow qualifying homeowners to transition to clean energy without any upfront investment.

If you qualify for the Moderate‑Income Program, the state will cover approximately 70% of your total installation cost. This substantial incentive significantly reduces your out‑of‑pocket expenses and makes solar energy an affordable, long‑term solution for reducing utility bills.
