Several organizations in the Saginaw Bay region are looking at ways to help businesses afford solar energy, including creating bulk purchasing programs.
Natalie Schiefer with Saginaw Future explains how it would work.
“The whole purpose of it is to decrease the cost of the system for the customer. So in order to do that they’re using kind of a bulk purchasing program where if they get a group of businesses or organizations to purchase at the same time then they can get a reduced rate,” Schiefer said.
Several organizations recently completed a study looking at ways of promoting solar energy, including examining barriers to solar energy adoption.
The findings from the study are expected to be made public in September.
