Solarize Northwest

Solarize Northwest is a community-driven program designed to make solar energy more accessible and affordable for residents and businesses throughout the Northwest region. This initiative is often executed in partnership with the Solarize Issaquah Community Coalition, a non-profit effort that seeks to use group purchasing power to drive down the cost of solar installations. The overarching goal is to accelerate the adoption of clean, locally-generated energy, which contributes to environmental sustainability and supports economic development within the participating communities.

The program works by vetting and selecting a single, high-quality solar installation partner through a competitive bidding process, which simplifies the decision for participants. By organizing community members into a purchasing pool, Solarize Northwest is able to secure volume discounts that make the final installation price more competitive. Beyond securing savings, the program provides extensive educational resources, including community workshops that inform residents about solar technology, available tax credits and incentives, and the detailed steps involved in transitioning their home or business to solar power.
