Solarize Anchorage is a community-based approach to reduce the upfront cost of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. The Solarize campaign brings neighborhood homeowners together to purchase solar installations in bulk and receive a volume discount, thereby making residential solar PV energy more accessible and affordable. The advantage is to buy in bulk for discount plus take advantage of 30% federal tax incentives before they expire. You will be able to get a free solar assesment before any commitment,
The Alaska Center and the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) at the University of Alaska established the Solarize Anchorage program in 2018. A pilot campaign was conducted in the Airport Heights neighborhood and found great success, with over 30 homeowners signing contracts for solar PV installations. Based on this initial success and demand from other neighborhoods in Anchorage, the Solarize Anchorage organizers will be expanding the campaign to include additional neighborhoods in 2019.
