Summary
Low-to-Moderate Income Solar Loan and Rebate Fund and Pilot Program; financial incentives. Provides that the purpose of the Low-to-Moderate Income Solar Loan and Rebate Fund and the Low-to-Moderate Income Solar Loan and Rebate Pilot Program is to provide financial incentives, which may include grants, loans, rebates, and other inducements, to electric customers who complete solar installations and energy efficiency projects and renames the Fund and Program to the Low-to-Moderate Income Solar Financial Incentives Fund and Pilot Program to reflect such purpose.
