Are you considering purchasing a solar installation?

The Switch Together program is now available to our residents! Switch Together is a group buying program offered by Tarpon Springs and national nonprofit Solar United Neighbors. It makes it more affordable for you to install solar panels with significant discounts. Optional add-ons such as battery storage and electric vehicle chargers are also available through the program. Switch Together offers free educational webinars and in-person events to explain the process and benefits of going solar.

Switch Together conducts a rigorous review of installer qualifications, ensuring participants receive a high-quality installation from a trusted installer. Through the current program, the average household is expected to save $6,941 on a high-quality solar installation.

The 30% federal solar tax credit can further reduce system costs, making solar energy more accessible than ever before. It is free to register, and there is no obligation to purchase a system.

Take advantage of this opportunity by registering at SwitchTogether.com/Solar/TarponSprings by May 28, 2025.
