BRING SOLAR TO YOUR COMMUNITY
SOLAR IS CONTAGIOUS — Solar group purchase programs, often called "Solarize" programs,
are happening across the country, spreading solar from neighbor to neighbor and business
to business. Since 2013, the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) has worked
with 5 midwest states to lead over 30 programs, reaching over 7,000 individuals, resulting
in over 8MW of solar on more than 1,000 propertices. BRING US TO YOUR COMMUNITY!
NOW IT WORKS:
• MREA administers program with no cost to city or county.
• MREA works with community stakeholders to form an advisory
group to guide contractor selection and program promotion.
• The MREA conducts a competitive bidding process to help the
advisory committee select a qualified solar installer that will
work to offer reduced price solar installations and free no -
obligation solar site assessments to prospective participants.
• MREA provides free, public, one -hour long educational sessions
called Solar Power Hours for prospective participants to learn
how solar energy works, financial options, how the program
works, and answer prospective participant questions.
• As the participant list grows, the program will offer rebates
based on program benchmarks typically set at 50kW, 100kW,
150kW, and so on, leveraging the group's power of volume
purchasing for the most affordable solar possible.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"The Solar Group Buy Program makes it simple, easy, and even
more cost-effective to go solar. They help manage the steps of
moving forward, such as selecting an installer, handling the different
incentives, and working with the utility company. It is definitely the
best option for most homeowners to go solar right now."
