Solar Energy made Simple, Safe, and Affordable
There's never been a better time for Washington residents and businesses to invest in Solar Energy.
What is Solarize Whatcom?
Solarize is a nonprofit-sponsored solar energy group purchasing model used to reduce costs and simplify the solar installation process. In 2024, this program is available to residents in Whatcom County, WA.
A Growing Solar Campaign
Initially launched in Thurston County by Olympia Community Solar, Solarize now partners with non-profit sponsors across Washington State.
Whatcom County Solarize Sponsor
Sustainable Connections advances a regenerative local economy that builds community, strengthens food systems, catalyzes climate solutions, and expands access to housing in NW Washington. We envision a region of informed and engaged communities where all people have access to fresh local food, live in affordable and healthy housing, make a living doing what they love, and have the lightest possible impact on the environment. We make this vision a reality by leading the transition to a regenerative local economy. Regenerative economies move away from extractive business models and work in harmony with nature and society to foster ecological restoration, community resilience, and social equity.

Interest in Solar is at an All-Time High
That's why the Solarize program exists to secure discounted prices, vetted installers, and an easy customer experience all at once! In preparation for Solarize 2024, Olympia Community Solar held a competitive bidding process to secure solar installers, and partnerships with local financial institutions for optional financing. Our team vetted and negotiated special pricing with our installer partners and developed educational materials and seminars. Solarize is helping to make the Solar purchasing experience simple, secure, and affordable!
Solarize 2024 is now closed! Thank you to our community partners and installers for making 2024 the biggest Solarize year yet! If you signed up already, haven’t heard from an installer, or have any questions please contact Ben at Ben@olysol.org or call (360) 481-4020.
