SOLAR INFO SESSIONS

IN-PERSON

ONLINE

Neighbors across Hamilton County are invited to join the co-op to go solar together and save money.  The co-op makes it easy to go solar at a good price with a vetted installer! 

The solar co-op is offered through Solar United Neighbors of Indiana (SUN) in partnership with local nonprofits Carmel Green Initiative and Westfield Green Together and with support from the City of Carmel, City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, City of Westfield, Hamilton County Board of Commissioners and Solarize Indiana.

It’s free to join, and there’s no obligation. You can opt out at any time. Joining isn’t a binding commitment to go solar with the group, however we ask that you’re fairly certain you want to pursue a solar installation for your property. We’ll use the information you provide to pre-assess the suitability of solar for your site and to contact you about next steps for the solar co-op.
