One Block off the Grid is the nation’s largest solar consumer advocate and is dedicated to making home solar panel installations easy and affordable. Headquartered in San Francisco, 1BOG groups discounts from local solar installer partners. Because 1BOG conducts a rigorous and impartial selection process to identify an ideal installer partner based on pricing, quality of product, track record and warranties, customers can enjoy the best solar deals without being experts.
Through June 25, 1BOG is offering Bay Area homeowners a negotiated rate of $5.24 per watt through groSolar – a rate that’s 15 percent below market value.
Since 1BOG started in 2008, the advocacy group has helped more than 600 people go solar, and is hoping to significantly increase that number as folks realize that solar energy is far more affordable than they might imagine.
Dave Llorens, CEO of 1BOG explains, “We don’t know what’s going to happen with climate change, but we do know it’s the biggest challenge facing future generations. By making solar power more accessible to the masses, we are confident we can make a positive and significant difference.”
