electrify cleanly: installing solar.

: the sun is shining, the birds are singing - and the electricity is flowing!

The Sun 

It's pretty great, right?
​
​It's even better when its power is harnessed to cleanly (and cheaply!) power your efficient, electrified home or commercial space. Click through the local solar resources below to find out how you can install solar on your home or business. Electrifying Missoula means more appliances and systems are served well by on-site solar!

For more on going solar in Missoula, visit https://www.missoulaclimate.org/solar-ease.html. 

And now that we have the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, all systems are eligible for a 30% tax credit. This includes nonprofits, schools, government and places of worship (who will receive a direct pay back!). ​

How to go solar in the Missoula area

Climate Smart Missoula and partners have been working for years to help folks go solar. It is now easier and cheaper to put solar on your home or business than ever before. We are challenged by state law and policies that make it harder for renters and for "community solar," but we're working to with others across Montana to make solar available to everyone. Equity matters.  

​We recommend you head to Climate Smart Missoula's website for a series of resources, short videos and "how to's":
  • Solar Smart: making it easy, Missoula-style - is the best site for all you need to know.
  • Solar Made Easy: A Step by Step Guide for Homeowners - Climate Smart's PDF on the basics.​

Our friends at the Montana Renewable Energy Association - MREA - have a few excellent resources, including: 
  • ​Montana Solar Installer Directory 
  • Financing Your PV System
