The Biden administration chose Earth Day to announce the recipients of $7 billion in funding for a program called Solar for All that aims to expand rooftop and community solar power to an estimated 900,000 households in low-and moderate-income communities.
"The Solar for All program is really emblematic of the swing-for-the-fences, big bold climate action the President has championed from day one," White House Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi said in a press briefing.
Zaidi said the winning applicants will serve all 50 states, Puerto Rico and other territories and increase solar access for tribal governments.
The program uses a mix of grants and low-cost financing to overcome financial barriers to solar and provides assistance on sitting and permitting solar arrays.
