MD SUN is here to help
Based on the same principle as buying in bulk, the co-op will go through the process of purchasing solar systems together. The group will select a single contractor to install systems on members’ homes. The selected installer will develop an individualized proposal for each co-op member. At this point, participants can decide if going solar is right for them. By going solar as a group, members can save up to 20% off the cost of their solar system. They’ll also have the support of the co-op throughout the process.
The co-op is being organized by the City of Bowie, Community Power Network and MD SUN. If you still have questions or concerns, email us at solarteam@mdsun.org!
