Phoenix Solar Co-op releases RFP, announces info session

The 41-member Phoenix Solar Co-op issued a request for proposals (RFP) from area solar installers today. The group members created the co-op to save money and make going solar easier, while building a network of solar supporters. Arizona Interfaith Power and Light and Physicians for Social Responsibility Arizona are sponsoring the co-op. The group will host its next information meeting at 6 pm on June 8 to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template here. Phoenix residents and residents of the west valley who 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.
