Centre County Solar & EV Charger Co-op
We’re joining forces with Solar United Neighbors to help people save money on their utility bills through the Centre County Solar and EV Charger Co-op! By joining the solar co-op, you’ll learn about solar energy and how to get the best rates from an installer.
Have you ever thought about putting solar panels on your roof? Join us and nonprofit Solar United Neighbors (SUN) at our Solar 101 information session on March 25 to learn more about going solar with the Centre County Solar and EV Charger Co-op! You’ll learn about solar technology, financing, and tax incentives, meet SUN’s solar experts, and get your solar questions answered. RSVP here.
The solar co-op helps homeowners and small businesses in Centre County learn about solar and purchase panels at a group rate from a single installer. After a competitive bidding process facilitated by SUN, a group of volunteers from the co-op will select a solar company to complete the co-op’s installations. Joining does not obligate you to purchase solar. Sign up today!
