What is SOMAH?

SOMAH is the largest investment in solar on multifamily affordable housing to date in California. The program will be funded up to $1 billion dollars with a target of 300 megawatts installed through 2030.

The Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program benefits you and your tenants! SOMAH rebates can offset most if not all of the solar installation cost, reducing your operating cost while extending significant utility bill savings to your residents.

As a mission-aligned nonprofit, GRID Alternatives Bay Area provides turnkey solar installation services in a way no other solar contractor can.
