Description

State Solution
(Type of Activity: Program Implementation and Outreach )

State and utility programs should offer direct-install approaches, providing equipment at no upfront cost with minimal administrative burden, rather than relying solely on incentive stacking that requires significant research and navigation capacity to access.

Existing Examples of Progress: PG&E's program providing free water heaters to any public agency that requests them was named as a model for this approach; described as straightforward and easy to use, demonstrating that removing the application and cost barrier entirely can drive uptake where complex rebate and incentive programs have not.
