What is PACE?
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) model is an innovative mechanism for financing energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements on private property. It allows a property owner to finance the up-front cost of energy or other eligible improvements on a property and then pay the costs back over time through a voluntary assessment.

Why I Created PACE
“I did not think it was fair or right that you couldn’t put improvements on your home that made them safer, that saved energy, unless you had a lot of money in the bank.”
