Similar to a solar lease or a solar power purchase agreement, the GEM$ Energy Services Program (ESP) provides low and moderate-income (LMI) homeowners and renters an opportunity to lower their energy cost with no upfront cost. 

​

The GEM$ Energy Services Participant Agreement (Participant Agreement) is a long-term contract between an energy company (System Owner), which installs, owns and operates a solar PV system (Solar System) on the rooftop of an LMI household (LMI Ratepayer). 

 

Once installed and operational, the LMI Ratepayer purchases the energy generated by the Solar System for a pre-determined amount and pre-determined period.

​

The GEM$ Energy Services Program features:

• Immediate estimated bill savings.

• Elimination of credit barriers.

• Obligation tied to the utility meter, assumable by future utility account holder(s).

• Payments conveniently made on your monthly electric utility bill.

• Long-term agreements with options to purchase or renew.

• Pre-determined energy rate(s)
