Affordable Clean Energy Financing Solutions in Texas
Empowering Texas homeowners, businesses, and communities with funding for clean energy access.
At Clean Energy Fund of Texas, we believe clean energy should be affordable and accessible for every Texan. That’s why we provide transparent, low-cost financing solutions for homeowners, renters, contractors, businesses, and nonprofits across the state.
Whether you’re installing rooftop solar, upgrading to energy-efficient HVAC systems, or modernizing community buildings, our mission is to remove the financial barriers that prevent you from making energy-smart choices.
Who We Finance?
At Clean Energy Fund of Texas, we provide financing to a variety of groups of people. We want to accelerate the green economy by directing financing into multiple market channels, helping more Texans save money and save energy.
Homeowners
Affordable residential financing is at the heart of what we do. Whether you’re adding rooftop solar, upgrading your HVAC, or improving insulation, we make it easy for Texas homeowners to reduce energy bills and improve comfort. When more Texans participate in the clean energy transition, our communities become stronger and more resilient.
Contractors
From small storefronts to major shopping centers, we help Texas businesses reduce energy costs and invest in long-term upgrades. Traditional financing models often don’t work for urgent energy needs—ours do. With fast, affordable solutions, your business can install solar, upgrade systems, and make meaningful changes that pay off over time.
Businesses
Clean Energy Fund of Texas helps solar, HVAC, lighting, and energy-efficiency suppliers and contractors reach more customers statewide. By offering accessible financing options, we drive demand for energy-smart products and services. That means more business for local suppliers—and a greener future for homes and commercial properties across Texas.
Building Owners
Multifamily properties and commercial buildings are major energy users—but they don’t have to be. We offer financing for property owners ready to improve efficiency, reduce utility expenses, and boost tenant appeal. Our team works with you to simplify the process, whether you’re managing one building or many across Texas.
Community Organizations
Nonprofits, churches, and community centers are trusted anchors in Texas neighborhoods—and they use energy, too. We provide clean energy financing for upgrades that lower costs and set an example for others to follow. When community organizations go green, their impact extends far beyond their walls, inspiring residents and businesses to do the same.

Our Services
We also offer a range of services and programs to help support other aspects of the clean energy economy. Contact us to learn more about any of the following:
Advocacy
We advocate to advance clean energy and environmental policies that accelerate the adoption of green technologies and reduce energy poverty in under-resourced communities across the state. We will finance as many projects as we can, and with stronger clean energy and environmental policies there is even more we can accomplish together.
Contractor Platform
This easy-to-use online workflow platform designed to streamline and create transparency during the application process. At Clean Energy Fund of Texas, we remove red tape and provide trusted, competitive financing so that every Texan can be part of this movement. The platform provides a secure, online project management tool for lenders, contractors, and energy program providers.
Energy and Water Audits
Together with our contractors we provide free energy and water conservation audits for low and moderate- income families and small businesses to identify opportunities for sustainable improvements. Better understanding what cost savings make sense is the best way to start.
Green Workforce Development
We facilitate opportunities for families in under-resourced communities to access workforce development programs in the green economy. From solar panel installers to water and HVAC technicians, there are thousands of jobs coming open in this new economy. Let’s make sure communities who have been left out get into these careers.
Environmental and Energy Literacy
With our partners, we coordinate education programs to assist low and moderate-income families with selecting the right contractor and retail electric provider. Companies can sometimes make these processes more complex than they need to be, so we try to cut through the noise and assist families.
Credit Enhancements
We want to accelerate access to financing for green improvements. We provide credit enhancements, like a loan loss reserve, to reduce the risk for our banking partners of green lending in disadvantaged communities. We try to use measures like energy and water bill repayment history to enhance Texans’ credit applications.
