Affordable Solar Access Pathways (ASAP) Program

The Affordable Solar Access Pathways (ASAP) Program, administered by the Renewable Energy Fund and the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources, will provide qualifying households in environmental justice areas access to affordable rooftop solar and energy efficiency services through an innovative solar lease. PosiGen, a public benefit corporation and certified B Corp with a mission to provide “Solar For All,” was selected as the lease provider for the ASAP program.
