FAQ
How does it work?
Just like with Sam’s Club or Costco, group purchasing means better prices.
The more people who choose to install solar panels this year through the program, the better the discount will be. The discounts are tiered, so that the more kWs of solar installed, the cheaper. The sign up will be open through September, and then it will close.
Grow Solar has a great website here.
