DIY Solar News LIVE: The $7B Solar for All Program Is BACK + Balcony Solar Goes Legal in NJ

The $7 billion solar for all program is back.

now we're just talking about the news i'm not saying i support this or any of that you know this is government money trying to give money away to people y'all know how i feel about that i'm just talking about this is just news you might be able to use it you might not A quick background on it.

Solar for All was a federal program that pays for solar on low and moderate income homes.

In August of 2025, the EPA canceled the program.

And then on September 18th, basically just a few days ago, the US District Judge Mary McElroy in Rhode Island ruled that the EPA broke the law when it killed the program.

She threw out the cancellation, so the grants have started moving again.

There was a few businesses and organizations that basically sued.

And here are the numbers.

There are 60 grant recipients across the country, including states, tribes, and nonprofits.

The program is expected to reach about 900,000 households, saving each one about $400 a year.

That's over 350 million a year in savings combined.

Uh, what to watch for and appeal is likely of course is the government, the money runs through state programs.

So search for your state's name plus solar for all and see if your state got a grant and who qualifies.

Did anybody in the chat, Let us know.

Did you apply before it got canceled the last time? And I'll go ahead and tell you a little bit information that I pulled up about the program.

Basically, you just can't apply, you know, straight with program because it's going to states.

It's a grant or nonprofits and stuff like that.

So basically, you have to search for them, find one that's a part of the program and apply.

And if you qualify, basically, you can get solar for free through a grant.

So you don't have to pay for it.

So if you're going to get solar anyway.

the government they're not going to stop spending money so they're going to spend it and give you something i guess you might as well take it at this point because they're never going to stop spending money we're never going to you know turn this thing around whatever you might think so you might as well get you some uh eric and adam what do you guys think about that have you heard about that program before

This is the first I'm hearing about it, so I have no idea.

I'm trying to look it up, but I'm also trying to be present here, so I'm going to throw it in over here into Hermes and see what it says about it for Texas.

Maybe I'll have something to talk about here in a second.
