Solar 101: Central Indiana Solar Co-op

Have you ever thought about putting solar panels on your sunny roof or in your sunny yard? Join us for a Solar 101 info session to learn about solar technology, economics, and how the Central Indiana Solar Co-op makes it easy to go solar with your neighbors.

Energy is expected to get even more expensive as utilities build power plants for AI data centers! Generating your own solar power is a great way to protect against rate hikes!

Solar United Neighbor’s solar co-op program provides expert support throughout the process of going solar, including:

• A free review of your roof to see if solar panels will work for you
• One-on-one support for all your questions about going solar
• Help with installer proposals, selection and installation expectations

The program is free to join and there’s no obligation.

Regrettably, the big ugly bill ended the 30% tax credit offered in the Inflation Reduction Act ….7 years early! But the co-op ensures you’re getting competitive pricing from a vetted solar installer.
