Solar Program
Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County (CAP-HC) is partnering with All Energy Solar, a Minnesota-based solar panel company, to help make solar energy more accessible to families with low income. The initiative, called The Solstice Project, will help eligible homeowners go through all the steps—from assessment to installation—so that they can enjoy the benefits of clean, renewable energy.
Reasons to Choose Solar Power
There are many reasons to choose solar power for your home energy needs. Here are just a few:
Property Value
Solar panels may boost your home’s property value.
Savings
Over the lifetime of a solar energy system (usually 30 years), the average family can save $20,000-$75,000 in energy costs.
Bill Stability
With utility costs continuing to rise, going solar can protect you from rate spikes in your monthly bill.

Eligibility
CAP-HC Solar Program staff have already pre-screened households based on income, homeownership, and location requirements. Those pre-screened households may be contacted by phone and/or by mail to gauge interest in the program.
