About America BRIGHT Solar
In 2023, Good Fund launched Georgia BRIGHT, one of the first Third-Party-Owned ("TPO") solar programs where a nonprofit is the lessor / PPA provider. Made possible by the new Direct Pay provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, the BRIGHT program has already resulted in nearly two-megawatts of solar and one-megawatt-hour of storage being installed on the homes of low-income homeowners in Pennsylvania and Georgia, and the facilities of houses of worship and nonprofits in Georgia. In April 2024, the EPA recognized the BRIGHT model by awarding Good Fund a $156M Solar for All ("SFA") grant to reach 16,000 low-income Georgians with over 90-mW of solar and 30-mWh of storage by 2029.
