Low to Moderate Income Program Management

InClime is dedicated to bringing renewable energy and energy efficiency to low- and moderate-income households. InClime administers programs dedicated to this customer demographic as well as programs which require a certain percentage of the participants are low- or moderate-income customers. In both cases, InClime builds outreach capacity to reach these customers, and uses a variety of methods to verify the integrity of the program by ensuring customer eligibility.

Programs

InClime runs the Delaware Green Grant Program on behalf of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). This statewide program provides grants for solar photovoltaic, solar hot water, wind, and geothermal systems in Delaware for residential, non-residential, and non-profit applicants. InClime took over what was previously a paper and mail based program, creating a custom version of the InClime portal that handles the entire program, from accepting applications to providing customer service and reviewing all submitted applications. This program has been very successful, with the number of applicants doubling each year that InClime has been running the program, despite two significant reductions in grant levels. Stakeholders both in the renewable industry and with DNREC have complimented ease of use, increase in transparency, and improvement in speed of response of the new system. More information about the program can be found on the Delaware Green Grant Program website.

InClime launched and runs the Delaware Solar Loan Program on behalf of the Delaware Sustainable Energy Utility. This program provides low interest loans for up to 70% of the cost of a solar system to customers located in Delaware. The program was designed to complement the existing Delaware SREC Procurement program the InClime also runs, providing a streamlined and simple loan process devoted solely to solar loans. InClime handles all aspects of this program, initiating, underwriting, and servicing the loans as well as providing marketing, training, and customer service to contractors and customers. You can learn more about the program at GreenGrantDelaware.com.

InClime administers the Clean Energy Advantage Loan program on behalf of the Maryland Clean Energy Center and the Montgomery County Green Bank. In addition, InClime works closely with six utility companies within the state of Maryland to ensure the requirements of the loan program comply with the utility’s requests. The loan program offers low-cost financing for home energy efficiency projects to Maryland residents within six different service territories. As program administrators, InClime oversees the loan application process, certifies projects deemed eligible by utilities, works closely with the participating lender, and monitors the funds provided by the utilities and Montgomery County Green Bank. Further information about the program can be found at www.cealoan.org.
 

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) runs several loan and rebate programs in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including the Mass Solar Loan Program and the Clean Heating and Cooling program which provides rebates for heat pumps, geothermal, biomass boilers, solar hot water, and wood stoves. InClime was chosen to run the income verification program that allows lower income customers to receive enhanced loans or grants under these programs. InClime built a custom portal that collects all required information, creates an IRS form 4506-T, obtains income verification from the IRS, and reports customer eligibility back to the MassCEC. More about this program can be found on the MassCECIVerify website.
