Terms and Conditions
Signing up isn't a binding commitment to go solar with the group, however we ask that you're fairly certain you want to pursue a solar installation for your property.
Entry of Participant information into the web signup form does not bind the Participant, legally, financially or otherwise, to purchase or install any equipment, to enter into any contracts, to accept the bid or bidders approved by the Selection Committee, or to any other commitments to Solar United Neighbors or its affiliates. The Participant may choose to withdraw from participation in the purchase process at any time, for any reason, without liability to Solar United Neighbors.
Public Disclosure: Solar United Neighbors will charge and collect a fee of $600 per completed contract from the solar installation company that is approved by the Bid Selection Committee and enters into a contract with Participant. This fee is not charged to you, the participant, but instead to the solar installation company if you decide to sign your contract with them.
Solar United Neighbors Does not have a preferred relationship, marketing agreement or partnership with any solar installation companies. Solar United Neighbors is dedicated to an open, transparent, and competitive solar market.
About the Selection Committee
Participant authorizes Solar United Neighbors to coordinate the Solar Bulk Purchase process, including the issuance of a request for proposals (RFP), the evaluation of proposals submitted by bidders, and consultation with the Selection Committee to select the preferred bidder.
Any participant in the bulk purchase program is eligible to participate on the selection committee. The selection committee will evaluate all submitted bids based on the criteria indicated by member participants’ on-line survey and the core items in the RFP.
Participant acknowledges and agrees that in undertaking the Project Activities Solar United Neighbors is not acting as Participant's agent and shall owe no fiduciary duties to Participant. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Selection Committee (and not Solar United Neighbors) shall be responsible for the final decision to select one or more bidders as the preferred provider for each Participant that acquires a photovoltaic solar system pursuant to the Solar Bulk Purchase RFP. Solar United Neighbors makes no representations or warranties regarding the results of the Solar Bulk Purchase RFP process and makes no guarantees with respect to the performance of any company that may be selected by the Selection Committee pursuant to the Solar Bulk Purchase RFP process.
Indemnification

We can help you however we’re able, but we will not have any liabilities to you in connection with any assistance or involvement by Solar United Neighbors. By signing this agreement you agree to hold harmless and indemnify Solar United Neighbors from and against any dispute, claim, injury, loss or concern related to your solar installation process or equipment.
