Tucson Solar Co-op issues RFP, announces info session

The 37-member (and growing) Tucson 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.

There will be a Solar 101 at Barrio Brewing Co on Tuesday, April 30, at 6 p.m. MST to educate the community about solar and the co-op process. To learn more about the event, click here. Tucson residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up on the co-op web page.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and respond 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 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 on the cost of going solar, as well as have the support of fellow group members and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
