Cook County,
Will County, DuPage County, and Kane County have partnered with the Midwest
Renewable Energy Association (MREA) and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) to
coordinate a solar group buy in these counties. The DuPage Clean Energy
Coalition, of which the River Prairie Group is a partner, is supporting this
effort. The advantage of a group buy is the power of volume purchasing, which
can significantly reduce the up-front costs of installing solar on your home or
business.
Dozens of
solar group buys have been completed across the country in cities like
Portland, Milwaukee, and Chicago, and in states from California to Vermont.
Common elements that lead to the success of these programs include competitive
contractor selection, community-led outreach with a trusted community partner,
and a limited-time offering.
If you are
interested in installing solar energy for your home, you are welcomed to attend
an educational Solar Power Hour near you.
