Negotiated prices for solar panels with 1BOG
Group discounts for solar panels? That’s the theory behind the organization called One Block of the Grid, or 1BOG.
For people wishing to install solar panels on their home or small business, there is power in numbers. If a solar company can sell 5 solar power systems, instead of just 1, its a good deal for them. If you can save 10-20% (or more) off the retail price of solar panels… plus the generous federal, state and local tax incentives…. why wouldn’t you want to go solar?
One Block Off the Grid does much of the leg-work for you. You can easily register on the website and see if there are interested people in your community with which you can join. 1BOG does the actual negotiation and collective bargaining with salespeople to obtain bulk pricing.

One Block Off the Grid has been helping negotiate solar panel group discounts since 2008. Just last year alone, the organization helped facilitate over 600 solar power installations.
Already 2010 is looking bright! The recent infusion of $5 million in venture capital funding, acquired from New Enterprise Associates should allow a 10-fold increase in business and services for 1BOG. And all that new work will lead to green jobs – a tripling in the workforce is projected this year.
The concept of a solar power community is a strong one. After all, there truly is power in numbers. What better way to connect with friends, associates and neighbors than through joining forces for a clean, bright renewable energy future?
