This 2018 Group Purchase RFP is the first of multiple group purchase solicitation efforts planned by SWG. The Solar Workgroup is soliciting proposals from qualified solar photovoltaic (solar service) providers to design, build, maintain, and finance solar photovoltaic (PV) installations at and on behalf of the listed locations.
