West Houston Solar Co-op releases RFP, announces info session

The 21-member West Houston 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. Environment Texas, Houston Renewable Energy Group, Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, and Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation are the co-op’s sponsors. The group also announced it will host an information meeting at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 7 at the River Oaks Islamic Center (3110 Eastside St, Houston, TX 77098) to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.

Local installers interested in serving the group are encouraged to download the RFP on the West Houston Solar Co-op website.

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