We’re excited to share great news for anyone considering going solar this year. Thanks to the generosity of our anonymous solar donors, the Sustainable Living Center is once again able to offer substantial rebates to help local households make the switch to clean energy.
​
For 2026, SLC is providing a $3,000 rebate for qualifying solar installations. Homeowners who choose to add a battery backup system—an excellent option for increased resilience and energy independence—can receive an additional $1,500, bringing the total incentive to $4,500. Although the federal tax credit has sunset, Washington State’s sales tax exemption on solar systems is still in place, helping to further lower the overall cost of going solar.
​
Don’t let your solar dreams fade—this is a great year to take the leap toward clean, renewable power. Contact us today at (509) 524-5218 or info@slcww.org to learn more and get registered for the 2026 solar rebate program!
The SLC's 2025–2027 Community Energy Efficiency Program (CEEP) has been funded. Program participants must be registered with CEEP and follow all required steps through the CEEP process to receive incentives. Please note that incentives cannot be applied retroactively to upgrades completed outside of this process.
​
HEAR Funding Is Fully Subscribed
As of Tuesday, July 7, all available funding for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program has been fully subscribed by program participants who were previously registered. Although funding has been reserved, the Sustainable Living Center (SLC) is still finalizing its contract with the Washington State Department of Commerce and has not yet begun issuing HEAR rebates.
​
What This Means
Effective immediately, SLC is no longer accepting new HEAR registrations. If your home's primary heating fuel is not natural gas, we encourage you to apply through our Community Energy Efficiency Program (CEEP). Funding is still available through CEEP for eligible energy-efficiency upgrades while funds last.
​
Interested in Future HEAR Funding?
If you are interested in HEAR funding should additional funds become available in the future, you may ask to be placed on our HEAR waitlist. Please note that joining the waitlist does not guarantee that additional HEAR funding will become available or that you will receive a rebate.​
For questions or to register for CEEP/HEAR please phone us at 509-524-5218 or e-mail ceep@slcww.org.
