Join the Capital Area Solar Switch program to make installing a solar system on your home or small business easy. Solar Switch offers the option to participate in a cooperative purchase of rooftop solar and/or electric vehicle chargers. Sign-up will open May 15 for the 2023 Co-op and runs through Aug. 31. 

By working with a local nonprofit and community partners, the solar co-op helps residents better understand the process of going solar and leverages group buying power to get a discount off the installations.

Joining a co-op does not commit you to purchase the panels. You can register to attend a free information session. 2023 program and event dates are coming soon.

Learn about the process, check to see if your home is suitable for solar, and then have the option to purchase panels or an EV charger based on the group pricing. Each member signs an individual contract with the chosen installer, but all participants get the group discount. Take advantage of rebates and credits available for solar, electric vehicles and chargers. The co-op can include leasing or other financing options for all incomes and Access Solar, a low and moderate income program through the Montgomery County Green Bank.
