Denver Solar Co-op releases RFP, announces info session
The 54-member Denver 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. Partners of the co-op include the City and County of Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency, Alpine Bank, Colorado Latino Forum, Colorado Renewable Energy Society, Energy Resource Center, Energy Outreach Colorado, GRID Alternatives Colorado, Groundwork Denver, Mile High Youth Corps, New Energy Colorado, The Alliance Center, and Vote Solar. The group also announced it will host an information meeting on Thursday, October 7 at 6pm MDT to educate the community about solar and the co-op process.
Local installers interested in serving the group can download the RFP and response template here. Denver County residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up at the via the co-op’s application 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 up off the cost of going solar and have the support of fellow group members and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
