The Clean Energy Connector makes community solar subscriptions with savings more accessible to households participating in government-run low-income support programs, specifically Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) recipients. To get involved or learn more about the Connector please contact us.
Developed and maintained with funding from the Solar Energy Technologies Office within the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, learn more about the Clean Energy Connector on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) website. The Connector is currently being soft launched in three states – the District of Columbia, Illinois, and New Mexico – and is available to pilot subscription managers and local LIHEAP administrators in these states. New users can create accounts and use the Connector only upon request and approval by their participating state agencies.

DOE's partnership with HHS will increase the deployment of community solar, helping thousands of families lower their energy bills and in turn reduce their energy burden, ensuring Americans across the nation are included as we transition to a clean energy economy.U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm
LIHEAP keeps families and individuals safe and healthy by providing heating assistance in the winter and cooling assistance in the summer... Connecting LIHEAP-eligible households with the benefits and bill-savings of community solar will also have a lasting impact and provide increased economic security for families.U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra
