Overview
This bill would require the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to create rules allowing low- and moderate-income residents to verify their income through self-attestation rather than traditional documentation when participating in community solar programs. Currently, these customers often face barriers to accessing solar energy due to income verification requirements. The BPU will determine the specific form and process for this self-attestation. This legislation aims to expand access to community solar for underserved communities.
