Solarize Fairbanks seeking participants

January 10, 2020

University Relations

 

Solarize Fairbanks is recruiting Fairbanks neighborhoods and organizations interested in going solar in 2020. Potential participants should contact them by Jan. 30.

Solarize Fairbanks is a volunteer-led campaign of community members and organizations that aims to make it easier and more affordable to go solar in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Organizational support is from the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, Cold Climate Housing Research Center, Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition, Information Insights, Native Movement, The Alaska Center, and the Northern Alaska Environmental Center.

The solarize campaign brings home and business owners together to negotiate discounts on the purchase and installation of solar photovoltaic energy systems. This is achieved by pairing group discount rates with available federal incentives. If you have been considering solar, this is a great program to help you navigate the process!
