As announced today by the San Jose Credit Union, a first-of-its-kind solar group buy program has put low-cost solar thermal into the hands of 130 San Jose employees and retirees. This group buy program is unique because it is the first such program in the U.S. that allows members of an organization – rather than residents of a specific neighborhood or city – to purchase residential solar thermal (or PV) systems at a group discount. Group buy participants are eligible for low interest solar loans from the Credit Union and pre-negotiated discounts on solar systems from specific vendors, including SunWater Solar. Homeowners are also eligible for substantial federal and state solar rebates that further lower the cost of the systems.

SunWater Solar is proud to be the solar thermal vendor of choice for the San Jose Employee Solar Group Buy program. We look forward to bringing the benefits of solar thermal to program participants!
