Solarize Program

GLREA Solarize is a community-centric program that provides educational resources and a group-buy discount to homeowners, businesses, nonprofits, schools, places of worship, and local units of government who may be considering solar. By working with our vetted solar installers to provide a discount up to 15%, GLREA seeks to reduce the cost of purchasing solar and make the decision of pursuing renewable energy more feasible to customers throughout the state. We have been working closely with local governments' sustainability teams and the 2030 district as well, ensuring that Solarize participants are equipped with the knowledge and the resources they need to make an informed decision! This approach helps strengthen neighborhood and community connection by capitalizing on peer-to-peer and neighbor-to-neighbor relationships.

Want to get involved?

GLREA has expanded Solarize across the state, now with active programs running in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Oakland County, Washtenaw County, and Wayne County. We typically host one or two Solarize events each month, so stay tuned on our "events" page to see where Solarize is happening soon!
