Triboro Solar Co-op Issues RFP

The 42-member Triboro 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. Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization, New Sun Rising, The Borough of Etna, and the Triboro Ecodistrict are the co-op sponsors.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template here. Triboro and surrounding community residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up at the www.solarunitedneighbors.org/triboro

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.
