SOLARIZE
URGENT ALERT:
Protect your solar rights and the future of solar in Indiana.
GOING SOLAR IN 2023 AND BEYOND
SIREN and the City of Bloomington partnered on Solarize campaigns for six years, from 2017 until the end of net metering in 2022. Solarize was a group-buy arrangement that reduced costs for all participants through negotiated volume purchases. As of 2023, we judge that the market is sufficiently mature and the solar companies sufficiently responsive that our organizing services are no longer required and we are returning to our roots as educators. We continue to advise on how to go solar, including some groups of homeowners who have negotiated volume discounts for themselves. The City continues to support our efforts.
Residents of south central Indiana are already in a leadership role in the state with nearly 1,000 local solar owners, many of whom are on our online discussion forum. To join the discussion group, please email contact@sirensolar.org You can learn more about solar energy for your home, school or business by attending a one hour Information Session (click here to register) or by contacting SIREN with your questions. Our email address is contact@sirensolar.org.

SIREN COMMUNITY
The SIREN community consists of hundreds of Indiana solar owners, installers, presenters, and green allies who communicate with each other by email over the public SIREN forum/mailing list, which you are welcome to join. We also hold informal gatherings where new and old members of the community meet to exchange information. Contact us if you are interested in attending one.
