Direct-to-Renter

Clean Energy Equity, Delivered Directly.

Nearly half of Californians rent their homes, but most clean energy programs are only designed for homeowners. This leaves millions of people stuck with rising utility bills and hotter days with no way to make their homes more comfortable or efficient.

At TEC, we’re closing this gap. Our Direct-to-Renter™ program bypasses the usual barriers of working through landlords by putting portable, clean energy technology directly into the hands of renters. This isn’t a replacement for structural retrofits to rental properties, but it is a critical tool to fill the equity gap now.

The Direct-to-Renter model is growing fast! TEC is supporting programs across California. While the name might change depending on jurisdiction, the goal is always the same: helping renters access clean energy benefits. Below, you’ll find a list of current programs, ranging from those just getting started to those already serving their communities.
