Why Solar Group Buy?

Immediate savings and a stable federal tax incentive already make solar a strong investment – but are there other ways to save money on installing a solar system?

In Wisconsin, residents are joining forces through solar group buy to leverage collective purchasing power, increase renewable energy adoption, and create a cleaner and greener future for their communities.

Understanding Solar Group Buys

Solar group buys, also known as solarize campaigns, are community-led initiatives that bring together a group of homeowners, businesses, or organizations interested in installing solar panels. By pooling their purchasing power, participants can negotiate discounts from solar installers and solar installers can bulk purchase and organize projects; making solar energy more accessible and affordable for everyone involved.

Benefits of Solar Group Buys:

Cost Savings: One of the primary advantages of solar group buys is the potential for significant cost savings. By securing bulk discounts, participants can access competitive prices on solar panel installations, reducing the upfront costs and improving the return on investment.

Simplified Process: Group buys streamline the solar installation process by providing a curated list of pre-qualified installers. Participants benefit from simplified decision-making and expert guidance throughout the project, making it easier to navigate the complexities of going solar.

Community Engagement: Solar group buys foster community engagement and a sense of collective responsibility towards sustainability. They provide an opportunity for neighbors to come together, share knowledge, and collectively contribute to reducing carbon footprints and promoting clean energy in their communities.

The Wisconsin Solar Landscape:

Local Initiatives: Wisconsin boasts several successful solar group buy programs initiated by local organizations, municipalities, or nonprofits. These programs work closely with solar installers to facilitate bulk purchasing and guide participants through the solar installation process. For example, the MadiSUN program in Dane County installed over 60 residential solar projects in 2022, saving each homeowner over $1000 on their project, on average.
