Unique Way for Gwinnett Property Owners to Go Solar via Group Buying Continues Apace

LAWRENCEVILLE — Solarize Gwinnett – a community-based group-purchasing program for solar energy, battery storage and other clean-energy technologies – has landed its first contract resulting from the campaign’s initial weeks.

The program led by a coalition of local community organizations is designed to help homeowners, businesses and nonprofits in Gwinnett become more resilient and reduce their energy expenses. Saving on the cost of renewable-energy systems by obtaining volume discounts on materials and installation services is the intent of the countywide initiative.

Home and business owners have a limited time to access the special prices made available through the campaign. Valuable federal tax credits are also available and can provide significant additional savings in 2023.

To make it simple for Gwinnett County residents to quickly learn more about the benefits of solar energy as well as the group purchasing concept, there are online resources available here. In addition, Solarize representatives will be available at two informational appearances next month at Slow Pour Brewing Co., 407 N. Clayton St., Lawrenceville. These will occur from 2-5 p.m. July 16 and July 30.
