Selecting a solar installer, or multiple installers, is one of the core team’s most important roles in a Solarize campaign. Vetting installers that meet the campaign’s needs is crucial to achieve its goals. In addition, creating a competitive selection process will increase the likelihood of a group discount. Installers who can integrate financing, offer donations or subsidized prices to LMI residents, or offer additional benefits — such as energy efficiency upgrades or multilingual staff — can make a campaign more inclusive and impactful.
