Current Initiatives
Bulk Purchase Plan
I have been seeking to get at least 25 interested home owners and other commercial establishments to join in a consortium of those who would be willing to put up 2 or 4 kW of solar on the south side of their facilities. if we can, I expect we can get the net cost down to just 30% of the retail value of solar. We will do this through a competitive solicitation and a number of federal and state grants under the Inflation Reduction Act. If successful, then each of your solar installations should pay for itself in five years or less.
This is not a for-profit business program but a non-profit activity promoted by the Cranberry Isles Community Solar Association. If you are interested please respond here and someone will be in touch with you.
