Spring Branch Solar Co-op releases RFP, announces info session

The 23-member Spring Branch Solar Co-op today issued a request for proposals (RFP) from area solar installers. The group’s members created the co-op to save money and make going solar easier, while building a network of solar supporters. Houston Renewable Energy Group, Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, and Citizens Climate Lobby – Houston are the co-op sponsors. The group also announced it will host an information session at 3 pm on Saturday, February 27 to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers that are interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template here. Residents in and around Spring Branch who are interested in joining the co-op can sign up here.

The solar co-op is free to join and joining is not a commitment to purchase panels. Co-op members will select a single company to complete all of the installations. They will then have the option to purchase panels individually based on the installer’s group rate. By going solar as a group and choosing a single installer, members can save up off the cost of going solar and have the support of fellow group members and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
