Solarize Northeast registration deadline extended to April 30th by popular demand!

The summer sun is on its way, and now is the time to get solar panels up on the roof to capture clean, renewable energy! Solarize Seattle: Northeast has officially extended program registration through Monday, April 30th to Northeast Seattle residents and small businesses.
The campaign’s limited-time offer provides a discounted price on solar installations and takes community members through a step-by-step educational process to purchase solar systems. In just three months, 21 Northeast Seattle residents have already contracted to install solar on their homes, adding more than 100 kilowatts of clean solar energy to the city’s power grid. The Solarize Seattle: Northeast campaign intends to install solar on more than 50 Northeast Seattle homes by the summer of 2012. The campaign is a partnership between nonprofits Northwest SEED and Sustainable NE Seattle and local solar installation firms A&R Solar and NW Wind & Solar.
