Seattle Solar Project
Northwest SEED and partners
are developing the Seattle Solar Project. The primary
objective of the project is to overcome the barriers
to widespread deployment of solar energy technology,
dramatically increasing residential, commercial, city-owned,
and community-scale solar energy use.
Project Goals
- Incorporate solar energy evaluation
and deployment into city planning efforts.
-Research and implement innovative financing mechanisms
and ownership models to address the economic barriers
to solar energy. A special focus will be on developing
new opportunities for community-scale solar energy
installations.
-Develop and implement education and outreach programs
to Seattle City Light customers. Topics will include
the basics of solar energy, technology effectiveness
in Seattle, available incentives and cost-effectiveness
models, site selection, and project development steps.
-Evaluate and overcome barriers to interconnection
in Seattle by auditing and reporting on interconnection
practices, developing an interconnection guide and
refining interconnection practices as appropriate.
-Conduct mapping and site visits to identify the most
appropriate solar sites within the city and target
outreach and project development accordingly.
Project Partners
Department of Energy, City of
Seattle, Seattle City Light, WA Community, Trade and
