Now Is the Time to Install Solar

COMING SOON. We’re a community-based group with one mission: to accelerate and expand the installation of solar panels and battery storage systems across Bainbridge Island. Whether you’re curious, ready to install, or already generating clean energy, we’re here to support you with local news and the latest information on incentives and opportunities. Currently, 5% of our buildings have solar; these installations are generating 2% of our energy. Let’s build a more sustainable, resilient, and energy-independent island!

We are mobilizing efforts around five things:

  1. BSC Newsletter. We are launching a new newsletter focused on news and resources that can help islanders install solar and batteries: there is already lots of momentum in our area; we want everyone to know about it; Issue 1 will go out in mid-January. SUBSCRIBE NOW.
  2. Solarization Campaigns. We seek to collaborate with the City and other local organizations to bolster and extend solarization initiatives.
  3. Solar Ambassadors. BSC is building a team of local experts who can answer questions about solar and battery installations.
  4. Solar Tours. Our group has begun work to organize tours of existing installations on the island.
  5. Permitting. We want to work with the City and with PSE to make the permitting process easier and faster.
