This Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the City of Charlotte, NC, in 2019 for a utility-scale solar installation. The city was looking to partner with a solar developer to participate in Duke Energy’s Green Source Advantage (GSA).

The goal of this on-site solar RFP template is to provide local governments with an easily modifiable on-site solar RFP. For cities and counties required to use their local government’s RFP template, the material in this template should be easily transferable to your city or county RFP template.

This webinar is about the core components of an on-site solar request for proposal (RFP) and recommendations for enhancing clarity in an RFP.

A solicitation process, often through competitive bidding, to obtain supplier proposals with the intent to contract for procurement.

To deploy solar locally on at least 42 municipal facilities, parks, and parking lots to make progress toward San Antonio’s 2040 goal of zero net energy for all municipal buildings.

In 2022, the City of San Antonio (“the City” or “CoSA”) solicited proposals from qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) providers to design, engineer, build, operate, maintain and decommission turn-key installations of multiple rooftop and parking canopy solar PV projects at the site addresses listed. In this RFP, the City sought market-based solutions to provide a portfolio of onsite, behind-the-meter solar energy at a range of municipal facilities. Projects must be cost-effective and sited either on eligible rooftops or parking facilities as available.
