Sustainable Flagstaff

Want to Go Solar This Year?

☀ The Northern Arizona Solar Co-op is open to residents and businesses in Flagstaff, Sedona, and rural Coconino County until January 24th.

Imagine walking into a solar company’s office with 50 or 100 of your neighbors and saying, “We all want to get solar. What kind of deal can you give us?” That’s a solar co-op.

By going solar as a group and choosing a single installer, members can save on the cost of going solar, as well as have the support of fellow group members and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors. Sign up by the 24th to participate!
