Daniel Cohan, an environmental engineer professor at Rice University, has purchased solar panels twice for his home.The second time, he joined a co-op through"They take out all the leg work from you. They go out and interview and take bids from perhaps 10 or 20 different solar installers," Cohan said.
Now, the City of Houston is taking that co-op concept to new heights with a program through Solar United Neighbors calledSpeaking at a press conference Monday, Mayor Sylvester Turner said he hopes thousands of people and small businesses will band together. "To provide an easier way for Houstonians to aggregate their purchasing power and save on installation costs," Turner said.iChoosr"By going solar as a group through Texas Solar Switch, participants can expect to save between 15 to 20% over going solar on their own, while receiving additional support through each phase of the process," Hanna Mitchell, the Texas Program Director for Solar United Neighbors, said.

Homeowners and small businesses across the area can sign up to save.The Inflation Reduction Act that passed earlier this year increased the tax credit to 30% for solar and extends it for another 10 years.For more on this story, follow Shelley Childers on
