More than 25 home and small business owners in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood will add solar to their rooftops this summer, thanks to Milwaukee Shines’ second neighborhood group purchasing program, Solar Bay View. The opportunity allowed property owners to take advantage of record low solar pricing through a group purchasing plan.

The deadline for the Bay View program has passed, with the count for installations available made final on August 1, but others are planned for the fall. The group programs are led through a partnership of the city of Milwaukee Solar Program, Milwaukee Shines, Riverwest Cooperative Alliance and Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
