Scottdale Solar Co-op releases RFP

The 26-member Scottsdale Solar Co-op today issued a request for proposals (RFP) from area solar installers. 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, the City of Scottsdale’s Green Building Program, and Physicians for Social Responsibility – Arizona are sponsoring the co-op.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template 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.
