Washington’s clean energy future is at stake. Clawing back Solar for All funding would block progress toward an equitable transition, limiting access to solar for low-income families, slowing job growth, and making it harder to meet exploding electricity demand and rising rates.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

The Trump Administration’s plan to claw back Solar for All funding is another disastrous step in the wrong direction.

This program makes important investments in clean energy, including creating hundreds of clean energy jobs, and would reduce electricity bills for low-income families across Washington. Now the Trump Administration wants to use that money to help fund tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

We’re reviewing our options to protect this funding.

The U.S. wouldn’t be #2MillionSolarStrong without the #solar investment tax credit. We must #DefendTheITC to deploy more solar in the fight against climate change. Tell your representatives to support the Renewable Energy Extension Act, introduced to Congress last week.

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Effective today, 7/1/19: new 100% sales/use tax exemption for sale and installation of solar energy systems 1kW to 100kW AC. Thanks #waleg for restoring and expanding the exemption as part of SB 5116 this spring. Visit WA Dept. of Revenue https://t.co/BjGw6n16u8 to learn more.

This week the 100% Clean Electricity Act was signed into law by Governor Inslee! Thanks to so many diverse and committed stakeholders, Washington State will clean up its grid by 2045, investing in clean energy as never before.

Success on the Solar Fairness Act! Thanks to you, Washington's new solar net metering law will allow thousands more to own their power.

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Solar success is ours! Thanks to the hard work of so many, legislators in Olympia passed the Solar Fairness Act (SB5223) yesterday, along with other precedent-setting clean energy bills. Solar has an even brighter future in WA today! Next up: @GovInslee signature before it's law!

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Thank you House legislators! The 100% Clean Electricity Act, SB 5116 passed out of the House and would kickstart WA's clean energy transformation. It flips back to the Senate once more. Please send a message to your Senator to continue their support: https://t.co/ZGOyww6jeR

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

This is the final push for the Solar Fairness Act (SB5223) - it will be on the House floor THIS week for a full vote to update Net metering in WA! Please urge your House Reps to support SB5223 by sending a message to them today, thank you so much: https://t.co/1rDW2Fa33R

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

@greenenergydad Yes, that is correct - it's so vital to the state's solar industry! https://t.co/qHv4oT9P75

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Last week the Solar Fairness Act (SB5223) passed out of the Washington State House Energy & Environment committee. Now it's headed to the Rules committee to be scheduled for a House floor vote any week now. Urge your Representatives to support the bill by voting yes!

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Thanks to solar advocates around the state, the Solar Fairness Act (5223) passed out of the State Senate with bipartisan support. Bill sponsors Senators Palumbo (D) @SenatorPalumbo and Rivers (R) @AnnRivers18 recognized the urgent need to update our net metering law. Thank you!

Construction of 500kW @SnoPUD Community Solar array begins this month - part of the innovative Arlington Microgrid. Solar unit sales for SnoPUD customers begin in April. Visit an open house near you in March to learn how you could benefit from solar. https://t.co/1FV91vbBFa

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

The Solar Fairness Act (5223) is advancing to the floor of the Washington State Senate. A vote is expected any day that would protect and expand net metering. Tell your legislator to support smart, clean, local energy for Washington with a "yes" vote on the bill.

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

With an 18% increase in solar jobs in 2018, @solarfound says WA among states with greatest growth. Encourage the #waleg to protect and expand state policies like net metering that build clean energy jobs. Access the full national jobs census: https://t.co/fbE6zHtZcO

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Great news! The Solar Fairness Act (SB 5223), which would protect and expand net energy metering in Washington, has passed out of the Senate Environment, Energy, and Technology Committee. Next stop, Ways and Means.

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Hey #waleg. Please support solar, and customers’ right to own the power they make, by supporting the Solar Fairness Act (SB 5223).

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

Passage of I-1631, WA's clean energy investment measure, would significantly accelerate deployment of solar energy and stimulate job growth across the state. New analysis estimates 30-fold increase in distributed solar capacity & 3500 new jobs. https://t.co/WWNTiGyrK2 #Yeson1631

[WASEIA @SolarInWA]

New study shows passage of Initiative 1631 would accelerate solar deployment and job creation - Solar Installers of Washington, #yeson1631 #cleanair #cleanenergy https://t.co/tIR5FXW61n …

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ day, we salute the Spokane Tribe of Indians in their pursuit of clean energy sovereignty. Check out their innovative Children of the Sun Solar initiative!
