What is the relationship between CANHP and the New Solar Homes Partnership?
A. The California Energy Commission (CEC) is funding the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) to incentivize the use of solar on new construction projects. In order to receive funds for installing Photovoltaics (PV), all homes must achieve at least 15% greater energy efficiency than required by Title 24. To align with the NSHP, CANHP is offering code-plus 15% (NSHP Tier I) and code-plus 35% (NSHP Tier II) incentive levels in addition to ENERGY STAR.
