The Easiest and Most Affordable Way to Go Solar
Community group-purchasing programs for solar energy and battery storage. Together, we shine.
Sunlight makes contact with a solar panel to produce direct current (DC) electricity. The DC electricity is then sent to an inverter and converted into alternating current (AC) electricity. The AC electricity can be used instantly on premises or transferred onto the grid.
Solar cells are protected with a hail-resistant tempered glass surface. Testing includes a half-inch ball baring shot at a 90-degree angle at 60 mph. Solar panels are usually mounted on a tilt so hail will ricochet off the panel surface at an angle. Nevertheless, a severe storm with golf-ball size hail could cause damage to solar panels, your roof, house, cars, etc. In this case, your property insurance will cover the damage.
Lower your electricity bills and enjoy your new, predictable cost of electricity thatwon’t fluctuate like your utility rates!
Our professionally installed solar systems include the ability to monitor performance in real-time, as well as track your energy production over a period of time.
Solar systems add value to a property’s value. Solar reduces the overall operating cost to a property and unlike electricity rates, solar rates will never go up because the sunlight that falls on your property is free. Thus, a solar PV system insulates you from rising electricity rates. Once the system has paid for itself, the electricity it generates is absolutely free!
As a renewable source of power, solar energy has an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change, which is critical to protecting humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. Solar energy can also improve air quality and reduce water use from energy production.
Our Shared Mission
To harness the power of the crowd to reduce the cost of solar and make clean, sustainable energy available to every community.

All campaigns feature:
- Pre-selected solar-panel installers competitively chosen by the community
- Free site evaluations and quotes for each community member’s home or business from chosen solar-panel installer
- Pre-negotiated, tiered pricing (prices go down as more community members sign up)
- Limited-time campaigns to encourage participation
Save Thousands
Adding solar will save you thousands of dollars on your electricity bill because solar panels come with 25+-year manufacturer warranties and are known to keep generating electricity for decades.
Increase Your Property Value
Studies show that solar adds value to your home or business because it helps reduce the overall cost to operate your property. Homes with solar sell faster and about 4% more than a comparable home.
Lower Payback Period
Through the power of group purchasing, Solarize programs help bring down the cost of solar energy systems and lower payback periods.
Savings Start Day One
Solar connects directly to your main distribution panel and now is your primary source of power for your property. The utility is there as your backup source of electricity at nights and cloudy days. This means you’re saving money the day your system is installed.
Incentive Advantages
Homeowners can take advantage of a 30% federal tax credit and business owners can get a tax credit even higher than that. Some states and utilities also offer lucrative incentives that help lower the cost of your system.
A Secure Investment
Solar saves you money on electricity bills, increases your property values, and works as a hedge against future rate hikes. Everytime rates go up, your solar system becomes more valuable.
Guaranteed Performance
Our Solarize programs vet the contractor, materials, and pricing in advance so you don’t have to. We do our due diligence to ensure you get the highest quality system at the lowest possible price.
Help Protect the Environment
No compromises. No regrets. Solar is a clean and renewable technology that generates electricity with zero carbon emissions. Now you can save money and save the environment at the same time.
Create Energy Independence
Solar will help you become more energy independent and resilient when the grid goes down. Add heat pumps and an electricity vehicle then your on your way to becoming a clean green independent machine.
Simple & Easy!
Solar energy systems have no moving parts and can be monitored in real-time on your phone. This means that solar requires very little operating and maintenance and makes your life easier. Bonus: Solarize programs make going solar easy and more affordable than ever.
Greener Communities
Solarize programs help communities meet their clean energy goals with education and outreach tools and a community-based clean energy group purchasing program.
A Smart Investment
Not only does solar help homeowners and businesses save money on electricity bills but it also helps create cleaner, more sustainable, and more prosperous communities.
Lower Electric Bills
Savings from solar is spent on other goods and services within the community and creates a virtuous circle of upward mobility for the whole community.
