What is the solar Neighbors Program?
Solar United Neighbors (SUN) is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit. We represent the needs and interests of solar owners and supporters across the country. See how we’ve been helping people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights since 2007.
What is a solar cooperative?
Solar cooperative purchasing groups, sometimes called Solarize programs, are a great way to bring attention to solar in a local area. Sometimes called “solarize” programs, solar co-ops are temporary groups of homeowners who come together to purchase solar installations from a single solar company.
Can neighbors share solar?
Solar Co-Ops If you really want to share the solar power with your neighbor, one way to do it is through a solar co-op. In this arrangement, neighbors form a cooperative that requests proposals from the area solar installers and selects one to complete all of the solar installations on the co-op members’ homes.
Can solar energy be shared?
Shared solar programs allow multiple energy customers to subscribe or otherwise participate in a solar energy project located somewhere else in their community. Participants receive a credit on their utility bill for their portion of the clean energy produced.
Can solar panels increase electric bill?
Electricity Use They don’t add in any electricity used from your solar panels. In fact, they don’t even see how much solar energy you’ve used. So, if you only used power generated by your solar panels, the amount of electricity use on your bill would be zero.
How do solar co ops work?
Co-ops help thousands of people go solar each year Our co-ops organize 50 to 100 neighbors in a group to go solar together. Co-op members leverage bulk-purchasing power to get discounted pricing and a quality installation, while still signing individual contracts that ensure the right system for their home.
What are solar units?
