Join a Solar Group Buy

A solar group buy is a group of individuals or business owners, often tied together by some common affiliation, teaming up to help each other go solar. A group can be formed by a local municipality, club, neighborhood, employer, etc. Typically, individuals have a time frame to sign up to get solar installed on their rooftops by an installer at a discounted group rate. Because the more people who go solar the lower the price for everyone, solar group buys inspire many people to go solar who otherwise wouldn’t.

Who Benefits?

Property owners: Property owners get access to lower prices for high quality solar arrays that save them money on their electric bill for decades and increase their energy independence.

Communities: Communities reach their climate goals faster through the education and investment of their residents in solar photovoltaics.

The environment: Emissions from hundreds of thousands of pounds of fossil fuels are avoided thanks to dozens of property owners producing their own clean electricity.
