Solar Switch/Co-Op
The Solar Switch/Co-Op is currently closed to new members but will re-open in April 2025.
New platform. Same Co-Op.
We have migrated to a new platform, Solar Switch, for registrations. Our solar co-op program is still run through our non-profit partner, Solar United Neighbors.
The Cuyahoga County Solar Switch/Co-Op consists of county residents and small business owners who are interested in sustainable renewable energy. Members from more than 30 communities come together to share their experience and promote the use of solar and other practices.
Through group installation, Co-Op members have saved up to 20% on the cost of their system, plus they have access to existing federal tax credits.
How the program works:
- REGISTRATION: Sign up for FREE at SolarSwitch.com/CuyahogaCounty
(Note: You will not receive any sales calls, nor will your information be shared with third parties) - INSTALLER AUCTION: Solar Switch organizes a reverse auction with qualified installers. The most competitive installer bid wins! The more people that register each year, the greater the discount will be for the group.
- PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION: You will receive a recommendation based on your registration details including estimated costs, savings, return on investment, and expected electricity generation.
- YOU DECIDE: Determine if you want to accept the winning installer’s offer by a designated date set during each round of the Co-Op. There is no obligation to accept. If you choose to accept an offer, you will be asked to pay a $150 deposit. This deposit will be refunded if you eventually decide not to sign a solar installation contract.
- INSTALLATION: If you accept the winning installer’s offer, they will finalize the site assessment results, provide you with a contract, and set an installation date.
