Allegheny Solar Co-op selects Energy Independent Solar (EIS) to serve group

Thursday, April 7, 2022

The Allegheny Solar and EV Charger Co-op has selected EIS to install solar panels for the 130-member group. Co-op members selected EIS Solar through a competitive bidding process over 3 other firms. They were chosen for their competitive pricing, equipment offerings, system warranty, and local experience. EIS Solar will provide each co-op member with an individualized proposal based on the group rate. By going solar as a group and choosing a single installer, members can save off the cost of going solar and have the support of fellow group members and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.

I am a North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Solar Photovoltaic Associate.® I work throughout Pennsylvania, helping communities go solar, join together, and fight for energy rights. Solar co-ops are a big part of this work!
 

I love seeing fellow Pennsylvanians harvesting sunshine to lower their electric bills and build a clean, equitable energy system in their communities!
