2020 Solarize Rabbit Creek Program

Several solar seminars are now scheduled on Zoom to inform you about the program and answer your questions in time to sign up for an analysis this spring.

(Sign up by May 15th for a $600 discount off the already low price.) All 2020 installations qualify for a 26% Federal tax rebate! Here is a flyer if you'd like to print out information. You can also help by sharing this with your neighbors.

The Alaska Center, in partnership with Alaska Solar and Solarize Rabbitt Creek volunteers, is hosting educational workshops where you can meet Alaska Solar, ask questions, and learn more about the exclusive pricing for Solarize participants. Pick any meeting time that meets your schedule, but remember, early birds get the discount and earlier installation for quicker savings!)

The links below will take you to the meeting set up site, where you can follow some simple directions to log in. The Meeting IDs may be needed within the log in process.

Tuesday March 31 - Cloud recording is now available.

Old News

Congratulations! Rabbit Creek is officially in the Solarize Anchorage program!!! Four neighborhoods qualified, including Rabbit Creek, Abbott Loop, Bayshore/Klatt and University/Tudor.

Interested in participating in Solarize Rabbit Creek in 2020? This means adding solar panels to your home as part of a neighborhood group, so in addition to the standard 26% Federal Tax Rebate, the group will receive an addtional approximately 10% off of each participant's solar package/install! Discount will depend on how many members and the cumulative total KW of solar power installed in the neighborhood.

This will be the third year of this program which has already brought solar power to about 200 homes in Airport Heights (pilot 2018 program), Turnagain, South Addition, Rogers Park, and Spenard (2019 program). For more information on the overall program: https://akcenter.org/climate-clean-energy/solarize-anchorage/

We have a list of interested folks and will not need actual commitments until February 2020 after an RFP for a solar contractor has gone out, responses are reviewed by a neighborhood committee, and a selection is made. But we need a few more folks on our list ASAP to ensure we can participate as a neighborhood. If interested or you have questions, please call or email your name, email address, and phone number, ASAP, to Ann Rappoport (annr.rccc@gmail.com 907-230-3187) or Joel Cladouhos (joelcladouhos@gmail.com 907-244-2123).
