Solarize Southwest Virginia
Going solar is easier and cheaper when you do it with others! This spring, the Solar Workgroup of Southwest Virginia is offering a Solarize SWVA program to help residents of Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell and Wise counties and the City of Norton find out whether solar makes financial sense for them and to help them save money if they decide to make the solar switch.
Participating in a Solarize program can save residents thousands of dollars. By working on multiple homes in the area, the solar installer can offer lower prices for customers because the company can get bulk purchase discounts and save money on marketing. Participants also have free access to the Solar Workgroup’s experts.
For a free home solar assessment and to register, visit swvasolar.org/solarize-southwest-virginia or call Appalachian Voices’ Southwest Virginia Solar VISTA Austin Counts at (276) 679-1691. There’s no obligation to spend a penny, just the opportunity to see whether solar works for your home and learn more about your options.
