Bright Saver says the solar kits cost exactly what it pays to buy, ship and support them. The wholesale model is supported by a new membership program designed to grow help the group continue to deliver progress on legislative and economic priorities.
Bright Saver, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to spreading balcony solar across the U.S., has announced a new plan to sell plug-in solar kits at the roughly cost it pays its suppliers to customers in nearly all U.S. states.
Concurrent with that plan, the group is introducing a membership program that it says will help to drive its mission long into the future.
“We’re building more than a customer base,” said Bright Saver co-founder Kevin Chou in a statement. “We’re building a constituency. When you feel like your vote barely registers, joining a movement that’s actually winning is its own kind of power. Every Bright Saver member makes the case for saving money and fighting climate change a little harder for lawmakers to ignore, and that’s exactly how the rules have started to change in 35 states.”
Basic membership costs $29 per year, and earns participants the right to purchase the at-cost solar kits, as well as access to a members-only community and future offers from the nonprofit.
