Why Become a Partner?

Community outreach and education are crucial to a Grow Solar program’s success. Each  MREA-supported program relies on partnership with local municipalities, organizations, non-profits and financial institutions to help get the word out about the program in their area.

This engagement can take many forms, and the MREA appreciates and values collaboration in order to build an open and advantageous solar market that benefits communities long-term. We believe that Grow Solar makes investments in solar faster, easier, and more affordable to better serve the people and the places we live in and love.

Why should you bring a Grow Solar group buy to your area? Individuals get lower-cost solar, local installers get a steady flow of business, and communities gets closer to their sustainability goals. Everyone wins!

PAST PARTNERS

What Our Partners Say

“I can’t think of anyone with as much experience doing community-level solar education and bulk solar program management as MREA. MREA has helped us dramatically lower the cost of solar in our area which has resulted in a record amount of solar installations.” – Scott R. Tess, Environmental Sustainability Manager, City of Urbana, IL, Anchor Partner

 

“We couldn’t have launched a large-scale residential solar program so quickly and so successfully without MREA’s approach. The results exceeded our expectations–more awareness, more solar at an affordable price, and more connections with our partner cities.” – Becky Soglin, Sustainability Coordinator, Johnson County, IA, Anchor Partner

 

“Solar Sauk County was a huge success. The program provided homeowners, farms and businesses with an opportunity to save on solar and help protect our environment. I strongly recommend this program to any communities that are planning for a sustainable future.” – Jenny Erickson, Community Development Educator, UW Extension Sauk County, WI, Anchor Partner

 

“One of the many benefits of a collaboration with the MREA on a solar group buy program is a municipality’s ability to serve on the Community Advisory Committee that selects the solar installer while all contracting with the installer is done through the MREA. This helps streamline the program and allows for a timeline that works well for outreach and installations without having to go through a municipality’s procurement process which can be time consuming.” – Elizabeth Hittman, Sustainability Program Manager, City of Milwaukee Environmental Collaboration Office, Anchor Partner
