Solar Sipper Group Buys
INSTALL SOLAR AS PART OF A GROUP AND SAVE!
More members = lower price per watt. A group of 5-15 homeowners will save an average of $2,500 per member. As of May, 2010 an average residential solar power system costs $6 to $7 per watt installed, depending on the system size about $15,000-$25,000. The volume of a group creates competition among contractors and an economy of scale that allows prices, specially the coast associated with obtaining panels to reach Rock Bottom.
By joining or starting a group in your area, you are under no obligation to purchase. Historically, about half of group members choose to install solar, while others choose alternate energy efficiency options. The #1 goal of the group is to get the lowest possible price, through a transparent process that stresses the importance of understanding your energy consumption and how to reduce and offset it.
