Request for Proposals: Central Wisconsin 2019 Solar Group Buy

May 21, 2019 Request for Proposals - (RFPs)

Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) is seeking qualified firms to submit proposals for the design, procurement, and installation of new, residential and small commercial, direct-owned photovoltaic (PV) systems at a per-watt price lower than the typical, single solar electric installation.

The solar group buy is being led by the MREA. The goal of the program is to increase consumer education and PV installations in Marathon, Lincoln, Portage, and Wood Counties through a group purchase involving free, public information sessions and a competitive contractor selection process.

Between 2013 and 2018, the MREA facilitated twenty-two Solar Group Buy programs around the Midwest, reaching over 6,000 individuals with our Solar Power Hour information sessions, and leading to more than 7,400 kW on over 1,000 properties. Among those property owners who received proposals from partnering contractors, an average 42% purchased a PV system. To date, the average system size is 7.5 kW.

The Grow Solar Central Wisconsin program is being conducted with the leadership of MREA and support from Mid-State Technical College, Wood County, Portage County, Lincoln County, the City of Wisconsin Rapids, the City of Stevens Point, the City of Wausau, and the Village of Plover with wide publicity and awareness in the area. MREA will coordinate and deliver approximately 12-15 free, public Solar Power Hour information sessions and market them widely with physical posters, email blasts, paid social media promotion, yard signs, and in the press.
