More info:TREC's 'Our Power' project was a response to the success of the community bulk purchase model first used by the Riverdale Initiative for Solar Energy (RISE) in Toronto in 2006. The Our Power model bundles solar system orders together into a professional renewable energy project that uses a competitive bidding process to select the best vendor offers. While continually refining and standardizing this model, Our Power has facilitated the installation of 95 solar electric systems and 76 solar hot water systems in Southern Ontario over the past two years.
