SolarCHILL Project: Solar-Powered Heating & Cooling with Workforce Development

North Coast Opportunities (NCO), through its BUILD (Building Up Individuals and Local Development) Program, in partnership with Middletown Rancheria, is seeking qualified solar and HVAC contractors to participate in the SolarCHILL Project.

This initiative will deliver complete solar-powered, battery-backed heating and cooling systems to eligible Lake County households—helping low-income and heat-vulnerable residents stay safe and comfortable during extreme weather and grid outages.

Contractors will play a key role not only in system installation but also in training local participants through structured, paid on-the-job workforce development. BUILD covers 100% of participant wages, creating a win-win opportunity to expand your workforce while strengthening community resilience.
