Columbus Area Solar Co-op issues RFP

The 131-member Columbus Area Solar & EV Charger Co-op today issued a request for proposals (RFP) from local solar installers. The group members created the co-op to save money and make going solar easier, while building a network of solar supporters. The co-op is sponsored by: Ohio Environmental Council; Ready for 100 Columbus; Drive Electric Columbus.

Local installers interested in serving the group can click to download the RFP and response template.
Bids are due Friday, March 20 at 5:00 p.m.

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. Franklin County or Delaware County residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up at the co-op web page.
