The Reap Grant

25% of Your Solar Project Paid For. (Yes, really.)

What is REAP?

REAP stands for the Rural Energy for America Program, and it was created by the USDA to support small businesses and agricultural producers in rural communities.

If your business is for-profit, located in rural areas of Hawaii, and you pay taxes—you likely qualify for a USDA REAP Grant that could cover up to 25% of your solar project’s cost.

This isn’t a tax credit. It’s not a deduction.

This is cash—a direct reimbursement check from the U.S. Government, specifically set aside for rural businesses like yours to invest in clean, renewable energy.

If you qualify and don’t apply for REAP, you’re saying no to free money. Period.
