Tucson Solar Co-op issues RFP

Tucson Solar Co-op releases RFP, announces info session

The 78-member Tucson Solar Co-op has 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. The Center for Biological Diversity and Physicians for Social Responsibility are the co-op sponsors. The group also announced it will host an online information meeting on Tuesday, July 21 at 6 p.m. to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers interested in serving the group are encouraged to download the RFP and response template. Residents of the Tucson metro area who are interested in joining the co-op can sign up online.

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.
