What is Solarize Vashon?
A group purchasing program for Vashon-Maury Island residents resulting in significant savings on solar photovoltaic (PV) installations.

1 kW – 40 kW installed = $400/kW
41 kW – 70kW installed = $500/kW
71+ kW installed = $600/kW
Maximum rebate amount $3,000 per customer.   

When can I get solar on my house or business through Solarize Vashon?
Installations will occur in the Fall-Winter of 2011.
