We currently have a limited amount of funds available for the Neighbor to Neighbor Solar initiative. As more funds become available we will be able to serve more households. Make a tax-deductible donation to Green Built Alliance, one of the organizers of the Solarize Asheville-Buncombe campaign. Your donation will go directly towards funding solar installations for more Buncombe county residents!
**NOTE: Due to high demand for this program, we are already at capacity! We will begin accepting new applications if additional funds become available.**
Neighbor to Neighbor Solar is one part of the greater Solarize Asheville-Buncombe campaign! All Solarize Asheville-Buncombe customers will receive discounted rates through our group purchasing program but there are also limited funds available to make solar even more affordable for income-qualified households.

Want to save money and have the support of experts in installing the right clean energy system for you? Working together, we can continue to make Asheville and Buncombe Co. leaders in clean energy.
Solarize Asheville-Buncombe is a community-based group-purchasing program for solar energy, battery storage, and other clean energy technologies that helps homeowners, businesses and nonprofits become more resilient, reduce energy expenses, and save on the cost of renewable energy systems by obtaining volume discounts on materials and installation services — the more that participate, the greater the savings!
Solarize campaigns harness the power of the crowd to save some major green while residences and businesses go green.
The organizers of the campaign will seek competitive bids from the local solar community to ensure best-in-class materials are installed by qualified solar professionals for the lowest price.
The Solarize Asheville-Buncombe community coalition partners consists of Blue Horizons Project, City of Asheville, Buncombe County, Green Built Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club – WENOCA, Hood Huggers International Umoja Collective, Asheville Homestay Network, MountainTrue, and The Collider, and administered by Solar Crowdsource.

Solarize Asheville-Buncombe features several financing options. With rates as low as 1.99%, and the low pricing offered through this program, for the first time ever in North Carolina, a true “bill swap” is possible.
Instead of paying the utility company a never-ending bill with zero return on investment, now you can finance 100% of the cost for a brand new state-of-the-art renewable energy system and save money on day one. There is no lien placed on the home and approval takes only a few minutes. Financing plans start at a 600 credit score. Ask your sales representative for more details.
