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.

Why join Solarize 2024?

First, thank you for doing this. I’ve been interested in solar for a long time but was absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of information online and having to set up a loan. I honestly may not have made the switch to solar if I hadn’t discovered this program. This streamlined everything and I felt like I was in good hands.

This was a great program. I really appreciated having solar available at a lower cost with an already vetted provider.

You guys rock! This program is what lit a fire under my ass to finally get the solar panels I'd been wanting for years. It was so easy that I just couldn't miss the opportunity.

This was a great program to be involved in and resulted in many households in Thurston county getting solar installations. This program needs to be duplicated in other communities throughout the state.

My experience with this year's campaign was flawless. Keep it up!

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!

Act by July 4th, 2024

Residents and businesses of select Washington Counties can access solar at prices below market rates until July 4th, 2024, thanks to the Solarize group-purchasing program.
