This brief by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory summarizes recent developments in the use of property assessed clean energy district financing. The Federal Housing Finance Agency has temporarily slowed the use of PACE financing as it has ruled it is incompatible with standard mortgage provisions.

This presentation by Bricker & Eckler covers Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing and Ohio’s Special Improvement District (SID) Law. Enabling legislation in 2009 and 2010 have made the use of these financing tools an option for Ohio communities.

This fact sheet covers the Montgomery County Home Energy Loan Program, a property assessed clean energy (PACE) revolving loan fund.

Berkeley FIRST is the City of Berkeley's solar financing program. The recently concluded pilot program provided property owners an opportunity to borrow money from the City’s Sustainable Energy Financing District for the installation of solar photovoltaic electric systems.  The pilot was the first in the nation to finance the cost of solar installations through an annual special tax on the homeowner's property tax bill that is repaid over 20 years.
