Save Money with a Group Purchasing Program

What are Group Purchasing Programs?  

Group purchasing programs, often called co-ops, offer lower-cost installations of energy-efficient equipment and renewable energy systems. Co-op programs streamline the process by selecting qualified installers through competitive bidding and by providing ongoing customer support.  

Group purchasing programs generally follow this process:

  1. Sign up by completing an online form 
  2. Receive a personalized recommendation 
  3. Decide whether you want to proceed with installation 
  4. Connect with the vetted contractor to finalize the proposal and proceed with installation 

How do I sign up for a Group Purchasing Program?

The County is providing the above for informational purposes only. If a resident wants to join a co-op program, it is their responsibility to understand the risks of joining such a program. If there are any issues related to the installation of the solar system, the resident is responsible for contacting the contractor or solar company to discuss resolutions. Finally, if a resident decides to sign-up for a co-op program, the resident understands that the County bears no responsibility for any damage of any kind.
