Whether you're interested in a solar hot water system, a solar electric system, or a wind energy system, call Co-op Power and we'll match you up with the best installers for you in our installer network. We generally start you out with one installer, but let us know if you'd like to have other bids.

 

Why go through Co-op Power and not directly to an installer? Well, most installers in the region are members of our installer network. It won't cost you any more, but you get Co-op Power's expert advice on who's the best installer for you, help with financing and contracting, and a advocate through the process. You'll also get a 2% discount on your system if you're a full Co-op Power member.

 

Solar Electric, Solar Hot Water, and Wind Energy Systems are a great way to become more carbon neutral, reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution, increase your energy independence, and build our community base of renewable energy.

If you don't have direct sun or wind or can't finance a whole system yourself, visit our community scale projects page to find out how you can take advantage of the sun.

SunMate Solar Air Heat

Co-op Power members now have access to highly efficient Solar Hot Air Heating systems from Environmental Solar Systems, a Metheun, MA company. The unit, called a SunMate, is mounted directly to the side wall or roof of your home. SunMates can be installed in as little as 3 hrs by anyone with basic carpentry skills and at a fraction of the cost of other solar systems.

Co-op Power member and chair of the Products and Services Committee, Lark Thwing has two of them on his vacation rental home in Hawley, Ma. They draw air from inside the house, heat it up and return it to the house using a small fan. The fan can be plugged into a 110 v outlet or can be operated by a self contained solar panel that can be purchased with the unit. On a bright sunny winter day, he can raise the temperature of a 600 sqf space about 10 degrees. He has one unit to provide supplemental heat for the first floor and a second unit for the second floor bedroom areas. Co-op Power members get a 10% discount off the price (excluding shipping).For more info and to see specs and SRCC rating, go here.

Yeti Solar


Yeti_Solar_Sunportal

The Yeti Solar LightPortal is perfect for lighting up a room in a cabin, workspace, or house, and is completely independent of the power grid (great to have around when the power goes out!). The LightPortal includes a solar panel, charge controller, battery, and LED lighting array. It charges quickly under low light conditions, is easy to install, and is eligible for a tax credit of over 20%. Mass Residents can get a 15% tax credit on their state taxes.
The normal retail price for the LightPortal is $350, but during our limited time promotion, Co-op Power members pay $270 (non-members $285). After tax credits, Mass Residents would end up paying about $180! An older model, the SunPortal, will sell for $199 (members) and $210 (non-members) until they are gone (a limited number are left). The SunPortal will cost about $135 after incentives for Massachusetts Residents.
Yeti Solar also sells 12vdc Exclamation lights that work with the LightPortal or connect to 12vdc power supply and will cost $150-160.
