Check Home Solar EligibilityYour Circumstances on a Fixed Income
Seniors are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme temperatures due to age-related changes in thermoregulation. Maintaining healthy indoor temperatures is an urgent health priority, yet rising kilowatt-hour rates erode fixed monthly budgets.
Fixed Social Security income leaves little flexibility to absorb sudden seasonal utility spikes.
Older homeowners are frequently targeted by aggressive, deceptive door-to-door solar financing salespeople.
Physical limitations may prevent seniors from performing basic home weatherization and maintenance.

For Eligible Homeowners
For eligible homeowners, ReJews provides access to a solar pathway with no installation payment and no loan. Savings begin from the first day the system is activated under the applicable program agreement. Eligibility depends on the property, roof condition and sun exposure, utility territory, program availability, and agreement terms. Where supported by the applicable agreement, eligible homeowners receive guaranteed savings beginning when the system is activated.
