Going solar in the U.S. isn’t easy if you don’t have a house or a padded bank account.*
But renters and cash-strapped residents are increasingly taking advantage of the U.S. solar energy boom, thanks to a push from communities, startups and policymakers to widen access beyond relatively wealthy homeowners.
The Obama administration is adding to those efforts with a handful of measures, unveiled this week (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-******/2016/07/19/fact-sheet-obama-administration-an**unces-clean-energy-savings-all), designed to help more U.S. households invest in local solar installations and energy efficiency projects.*
