The NSHP merges the goals of energy efficiency and solar production to accomplish the installation of 400 megawatts (MW) of solar electric systems on energy efficient new homes in California over the next ten years. The Energy Commission will partner with builders and developers to create a self-sustaining market for solar homes that incorporate high levels of energy efficiency and high-performing systems on 50 percent of new homes by the end of that period. The NSHP program will target new residential construction, both single family and multi-family, including affordable housing. The NSHP provides incentives based on the system's expected performance plus technical and market support for builders participating in the program. The program officially began on January 2, 2007.
