The Snake River Alliance’s successful Solarize the Valley project is open for new participants for a limited time. July 31st is the new sign up deadline.  “I’m glad to hear that Solarize the Valley is reopening,” said Trisha Kennedy, of Boise, who installed solar panels last year. “The Alliance makes it easy for the average homeowner to go solar.”

Leigh Ford, Solarize the Valley coordinator for the Snake River Alliance, explained “We have great prices for top quality panels installed by a great local company but you have to sign up now. We’ve been able to keep the same low prices as last year. People can come to an open house to see how it works.”

Homeowners in Ada, Canyon and surrounding counties can sign up here.

Now in its third year, Solarize the Valley helps you find out if rooftop solar is right for you. Over the last two years, 109 families have installed solar panels with us.  Solar panel owners generate a portion of their own energy and access the grid through Idaho Power’s net metering program.
