SolarizeU
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The University of Oregon Sustainability Office organized a bulk discount solar PV program for faculty, staff, and surrounding community members. This reduced the cost to install residential solar systems by approximately 10% and saved participants significant time by simplifying the decision-making associated with solar installation. Contractors were pre-selected and vetted by an expert panel. Materials and pricing were pre-determined as well. A 60-minute presentation covering key issues associated with the decision to solarize was shared with all interested participants.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
More than 500 people attended the workshops. More than 75 residential PV systems were sold at a combined cost of $1.2 million. Total installed capacity exceeds 300 KW.
