COMPETITIVE PRICING

CONTRACTING SIMPLICITY

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

Competitive Pricing: The MREA’s competitive request for proposals process ensures you a competitive price and the simplicity of working with a single installer. Most individuals receive a price per watt than what is available on the open market. The more people that buy in, the more benchmarks are surpassed, the lower the price becomes. We do recommend that individuals consider all their options before signing a contract to ensure that they are receiving the best price available for their proposed system.

Community Support & Outreach: Our programs are supported by both the leaders and community members of Polk County, and they’re excited and active about spreading the word! Through the help of your jurisdiction leaders and community members, the MREA facilitates a number of one-hour Solar Power Hours for your community. These educational events cover the basics of solar, financials, your property’s solar readiness, and how to participate in Grow Solar Polk County.

Limited-time Offering: This deal is only available through September 30, 2022! By including deadlines, the program is able to offer reduced prices.
