Solar Co-op Forming
St. Pete residents and small business owners have a new opportunity to learn about the advantages of installing solar on March 18 and April 7 when nonprofit Solar United Neighbors (SUN) offers free virtual informational meetings. The sessions are promoting the launch of a new Greater St. Pete Solar Co-op, which is taking reservations now. Co-op members will learn about solar energy and leverage their bulk-purchasing power to purchase individual solar systems at a competitive price and top quality. “The City of St. Petersburg is delighted to partner with Solar United Neighbors (SUN) for their sixth St. Pete Co-op,” said St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, who installed solar panels on his home last November. “SUN continues to help St. Pete residents, including me, add clean, solar PV to their home’s energy supply – over 1 MW of solar capacity in the last few years. My personal experience with SUN was professional, efficient, and fun.” Anyone interested in going solar can register for an upcoming information session at https://coops.solarunitedneighbors. org/coops/greater-st-pete-solar-co-op/ Hurry, co-op closes to new members May 3.
