The Sun and Soil Program, issued by NYSERDA under solicitation number 2139092 and Program Opportunity Notice PON 6206, seeks proposals to support the integration of solar energy and active agriculture, known as agrivoltaics, across New York State. The program provides funding for the planning, feasibility assessment, implementation, and scaling of innovative projects, including those that incorporate battery storage for on-farm energy use or export solar production to the electrical grid. Eligible activities include the deployment of new or adapted technologies, retrofitting existing solar projects, and conducting applied research to address market barriers and build capacity within agricultural communities. Proposals are due by December 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Successful applicants must demonstrate a project team with the necessary technical, operational, and administrative experience and sufficient personnel depth to execute the project tasks. The contract term is up to four years, with an additional year allocated for reporting. While planning and preparation funds are available for general solar and battery storage projects, implementation and scaling funds are specifically reserved for projects that involve or support agrivoltaics.

Grants for Community Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Projects Providing Direct Benefits to Low and Moderate Income Residential Electric Customers
Solicitation # 2026-008
The New Hampshire Department of Energy is offering grants totaling 500,000 dollars for community solar photovoltaic projects designed to provide direct benefits to low and moderate income residential electric customers. Projects must be physically located within New Hampshire, including the grid interconnection point, and are ineligible if they are located within or serve customers of a municipal electric utility. Successful grantees must ensure projects are operational within 24 months of approval by the Governor and Executive Council. The scope of work requires a detailed project plan, itemized financial documentation, a comprehensive management approach for identifying and enrolling low and moderate income participants, and an evaluation of net annual benefits over the first 10 years of operation. Technical specifications require the use of optimal energy modeling, such as Solar Pathfinder, and the provision of labor, equipment, and inverter replacement warranties. Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale through a multi-step process involving screening, preliminary evaluation by department staff, a Commissioner's review, and final approval by the Governor and Executive Council. Applicants must submit searchable PDF proposals via email by January 7, 2027, including a letter of transmittal, a project summary sheet, and resumes for key personnel.

Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex
Solicitation # 2024110253
The Rosemary Solar and Energy Storage System Complex project involves the construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of a 140-megawatt photovoltaic solar and battery energy storage facility in unincorporated Fresno County, California. Spanning approximately 1,172 to 1,212 acres of agricultural land, the project includes three interconnected generation sites, an on-site substation, and a generation-tie line of up to 2 miles connecting to the PG&E Crescent Substation. Additional infrastructure improvements include the reconductoring of 5 linear miles of the PG&E Helm to Crescent 70 kV transmission line and the raising of a portion of the Crescent Switching Station-Schildner 70 kV power line. The project has undergone a comprehensive environmental review process under CEQA, resulting in a Final Environmental Impact Report and a Notice of Determination certifying that the project will not have a significant environmental effect, provided that adopted mitigation measures and monitoring plans are implemented. Key regulatory considerations include the protection of special-status species, such as the Fresno kangaroo rat and blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and compliance with flood control permits and hazardous waste packaging and labeling regulations. The project received approval from the Fresno County Department of Public Works and Planning on May 21, 2026, and from the Westlands Water District on July 21, 2026, with the latter agreeing to provide construction water for up to two years.
