solarsonomacounty is an organization that supports solar and energy efficiency-related policy issues, educates and trains community members in these fields

Welcome to solarsonomacounty

Solar Sonoma County is a consortium of local governments, businesses and other local entities and individuals working collaboratively to identify and implement initiatives to promote, expand, and accelerate solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy generation and energy efficiency throughout Sonoma County.

SSC is part of an unprecedented countywide solar and environmental effort that has captured the attention of President Obama and the Department of Energy, who often refer to Sonoma County as a national model for cutting-edge programs.

Our Mission: To promote installation of solar PV and solar thermal on public facilities, homes, and private properties and to promote energy efficiency countywide through a public/private partnership.

Sonoma County's Energy Independence Program

Sonoma County’s Energy Independence Program is a new opportunity for property owners to finance energy efficiency, water efficiency and renewable energy improvements through a voluntary assessment. These assessments will be attached to the property, not the owner and will be paid back through the property tax system over time, making the program not only energy efficient but also affordable.

This program will help remove one of the financial barriers to installing solar energy and energy efficiency measures. Learn all about the program and apply online here:

Muscardini Family Goes Solar for
$0 Down and Saves Close to $300 per Month

After continually paying electric bills that exceeded $300, Michael and Robin Muscardini — of the award-winning Sonoma Valley winery “Muscardini Cellars” fame — knew they needed a more efficient way of meeting their electric needs. To save money and reduce energy consumption, they installed a solar energy system with SolarCraft.Seamless, low-profile solar panels are saving the Muscardini family over 75% on their electric bills every month — while reducing their carbon footprint. They financed their system through the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program (SCEIP) with $0 down and no out-of-pocket cost. You can imagine their excitement when they received their first electric bill of $76 after going solar.
