MREA’s Milwaukee Office is located within Escuela Verde, a public charter school in Menomonee Valley. The MREA partners with the City of Milwaukee’s Milwaukee Shines program and neighborhood associations, co-ops, radio stations, art galleries, libraries, and more to offer Group Buy Programs. Successful group buys have been run in a number of Milwaukee neighborhoods, helping over 100 homes and businesses go solar.

Solar Group Buys
What is a Solar Group Buy? A solar group buy is when community members form a group and use their collective buying power to save on the total cost of going solar. The program can help residents invest in lower cost solar installations through the power of volume purchasing.

To learn more, we recommend attending a free Solar Power Hour presentation to discover the benefits of solar energy for your home, small business, or farm. This one-hour presentation discusses solar market trends, describes the basic components of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, outlines the evaluation process for installing solar PV, and introduces incentive options and economic benefits.
