The Solar for All (SFA) program is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), which was authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The SFA program aims to expand solar programs in underserved communities, providing access to clean, affordable, and reliable solar energy for low-income households. Several Midwest States received funding for Solar for All including Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio.
