Request for Proposals: MASFA Decision-Support Provider

MassCEC is seeking entities to provide one-on-one decision support to potential participants of Massachusetts Solar for All (MASFA) small-residential financial assistance initiatives.

The selected provider will simplify the solar project customer journey for residents and act as an unbiased resource for broad customer questions about solar technology, incentives, and ownership/financing options. Chiefly, the provider will become acutely familiar with the goals, eligibility requirements, and technical details of MASFA financial assistance programs to provide residents with advice on the most appropriate pathway for their particular needs. 

MASFA is a five-year program, funded by a $156 million award from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that aims to expand access to clean and affordable solar energy to low-income and disadvantaged communities in Massachusetts. Funding has been obligated, but circumstances outside of MassCEC’s control may require that we delay, cancel, or adjust awarding funds under this RFP depending on the availability of federal funds or required changes to the program.
