Solarize Nonprofit is a partnership between the Community Environmental Council and Asteri Solar, a local funder. The goal of the program is to help nonprofit organizations in Santa Barbara County and surrounding areas install photovoltaic solar systems, free of charge.
Local nonprofits benefit from reduced energy payments, a pathway to solar system ownership, and the ability to run off of renewable energy.
