RFP Ready - Enrollment Deadline Extended

Solarize Garland has completed its RFP (Request for Proposal).  A number of PV solar installation companies have been identified and the RFP has been sent to them.  Solarize Garland is awaiting their responses.

It has taken a little longer than anticipated to get the RFP out, so it was decided to extend the deadline for enrollment in the Solarize Garland group purchase program until May 15.

The plan now calls for a solar PV installer to be identified around the end of May. Site surveys, contract signing and installations should start in June.  If all goes well, Solarize Garland participants could start producing their own electricity this Summer.

Update - RFP Team, Enrollment, PV Installers

Things are continuing to happen with the Spring Solarize Garland Program.

We have formed and RFP Team.  This team is composed of five Solarize Garland Participants who volunteered to write on RFP (request for proposal) and send it to qualified PV solar installers.  The RFP is coming together quickly and should be ready to send out sometime next week.  When the responses come back from the PV installers the team will evaluate them and use the information to select an installer.  The goal is to have PV solar going onto our roofs before the worst of the summer heat and electricity bills hit us.

People are continuing to enroll in Solarize Garland.  We have 19 people who have enrolled thus far.  Enrollment is open through April 30.  If you haven't yet enrolled we encourage you to do so.  Click HERE to enroll.

Solarize Garland is encouraging solar PV installers who are interested in participating in the RFP bid process to register with Solarize Garland.  The registration form is available through the "Enroll" page tab on this site or by clicking HERE.

Solarize Garland is encouraging everyone to spread the word about Solarize Garland, the group purchase project and solar energy.  Tell your friends and neighbors about us.
