2022 Denver Solar Co-op reaches 200-member limit

It’s clear the word has gotten around: in under three weeks our fourth Denver Solar Co-op reached its limit of 200 members with dozens more signing up for our waitlist!

The excitement is contagious as we celebrate the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (allowing solar customers to take advantage of a 30% federal tax credit!) and our member-led selection committee chose two installers to serve our first two 100 member cohorts of the program. We will announce their selection in the coming week as we finalize our paperwork.

We will be working closely with the City and County of Denver and our selected installers to support our members over the coming months to make sure all our members will receive a proposal. Those who want to proceed can sign their contract and get their installation scheduled.

In addition, we’re working with our members in support of our Denver Solar Equity Rebate where up to 30 households who are below 100% area median income will qualify for a $8,000 rebate. Let’s say you install a 4kW solar system for $12,000. This means you will only need to pay $4,000 out-of-pocket. You will then receive $3,600 back when you file your taxes, making the total cost for your solar system just $400. Please note the cost of the project and associated savings will vary per household. You can learn more about the solar equity rebate here.

We ask for patience from our members as we move forward with deploying this year’s program and support our two selected installers and those who have qualified for the Energy Equity Rebate. Do reach out to us if you have any questions or feedback! You can email our team at coteam@solarunitedneighbors.org.

Thank you for being a member and for your support.

Sincerely,

Bryce and the SUN Team
