Twin Cities Area Solar Co-op releases RFP

The Twin Cities Area 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. The City of Minneapolis, City of Coon Rapids, Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, and Minnesota Renewable Energy Society are the co-op partners. The group also announced it will host an information meeting via Zoom on February 13 and February 29 to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP here. Residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up on the co-op web page.

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 on the cost of going solar, have the support of fellow group members, and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
