Announcements

We are excited to announce the launch of Solarize Mat-Su! As we closed out 2021, we are proud to report that this year Solarize Anchorage helped facilitate 46 home solar installations across neighborhoods in Anchorage and Eagle River, with a total of 279.14kW installed! The Solarize program brings neighbors together to take advantage of group discounts and federal incentives to make solar possible for more Alaskans! Do you live in the Palmer or Chickaloon/Sutton area and are interested in participating in this year's Solarize season?

This year is the final guaranteed year of federal tax credits for home solar installations and we are expanding the program to include more neighborhoods, groups, and community organizations. We are looking for interested participants across Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley. Now is a good time to invest in solar energy and tap into the cost savings of the sunsetting tax credit.

We are proud to report that Solarize Anchorage 2021 helped facilitate 46 home solar installations across neighborhoods throughout Anchorage, Eagle River, and Girdwood, with a total of 279.14kW installed! Thank you and Congratulations to the Girdwood, Turnagain Arm, Eagle River, Birchwood, Chugiak, Peters Creek, and Eklutna Valley Communities!

Does the Solarize Anchorage program apply to Homeowners Associations?
The program is meant to benefit individual homeowners.

Can I participate in the Solarize Anchorage program if I live in a condo or duplex?
If you own your residence, including rights to the roof, this may be a possibility. Please check ownership and construction permissions.

Can more than one installer participate?
Yes, especially in instances where there is overwhelming demand for installations.

What if someone wants to purchase their panels through Solarize but wants to select their own installer?
The goal of the Solarize Anchorage program is to help both residents and installers by negotiating that relationship. Costs are driven down for consumers, and selected contractors get a guarantee of business. Buying panels and choosing a different installer would only be possible if the installer(s) selected through the Solarize program present that as an option.
