Skagit Valley Clean Energy Alliance (SVCEA) announces the launch of Solarize Skagit, a new solar energy program available now through July 4.
This program will support Skagit residents to install solar panels on their homes, businesses and farms. You can reserve your free solar assessment online at Solarizeskagit.org
Installing solar can seem daunting, from perceived costs, to technical details, to figuring out which installers to choose. SVCEA is sponsoring Solarize Skagit, a solar group purchasing program in partnership with Olympia Community Solar. Olympia Community Solar’s previous Solarize programs have resulted in over 250 solar installations around the Puget Sound.
To launch the campaign, SVCEA participated in a competitive bidding process to find installers. It vetted contractors for equipment quality, business practices, and negotiated special pricing with Western Solar, Truly Electric & Solar, Northwest Electric & Solar, and Blossom Solar. By purchasing materials in bulk and partnering with trusted installers, SVCEA is making the process of going solar simple, secure, and accessible.
Sign up for a free solar site assessment at solarizeskagit.org. Aninstaller will provide a virtual or in-person site assessment of your home or business and provide a detailed solar proposal at the campaign’s discounted group rate. If you choose to contract, the solar installer will schedule the date of your solar installation.
Solar customers benefit from reduced energy bills thanks to their solar production and net metering. Net metering is an agreement between a customer and their utility that allows them to earn utility bill credits for any extra solar energy that flows back into the electrical grid. Customers can offset their entire electrical bill with solar, except for their fixed monthly customer charge.
