We’re excited to report that the 3rd solar power bulk-buy block has now opened.

This also marks a significant milestone for the program ~ we have now passed the one-third mark of achieving our goal of installing 1MW of high quality solar power throughout the region!

We are also pleased to advise that the bulk-buy discounts for the third block are still up to 33% below recommended retail. The full schedule of prices for the 3rd block are detailed below.

And thirdly, we are also pleased to announce that we have expanded the region for the bulk-buy ~ which is now open to residents, businesses and farms across the greater New England North West region!

It is really encouraging to note that nearly 200 registrations of interest to participate have now been received. We sincerely appreciate this level of interest. We would welcome your support in sharing this update with any of your friends, family or work colleagues who you think may also be interested.
