Thanks to the support from our program partners, Grow Solar Polk County was a huge success this summer. Through this program, home and business owners throughout Polk County learned about solar and pooled their buying power to secure significant discounts that made installing solar more affordable. Read more about the program’s outcomes in this press release.
Stay tuned: after a successful first year, Grow Solar Polk County will be returning for a second group buy program in spring of 2023. Want to follow the program’s progress and be notified when the installer is selected and launch date is confirmed? Follow the link below to sign up for updates.
Our program’s success also led to a new partnership with the Neighborhood Finance Corporation (NFC) to help low and moderate income households go solar through the same trusted process. No one should be left behind in the clean energy transition. NFC helps bridge this gap by offering funding in specific lending areas in Polk County.
To see if your current home or a home you are considering for purchase is included in NFC’s lending areas, please go here and enter your street address in the boxes under HOME LOCATOR. For more information on how NFC loans and forgivable loans work together, contact Richard Cook, NFC Loan Originator (NMLS 400117) at 515-273-1368 or .
1 Source Solar, our selected installer for the 2022 program, will continue to offer free, no obligation solar site assessments for anyone interested in going solar now through February of 2023. Please contact Scott Prohaska at or at 515-460-3110 to get started today!
