Vote Solar will be partnering with Sustainable City University of New York to administer the NYSolar Smart-SunShares program. SunShares will help like-minded businesses, local governments, universities, and non-profits to combine the purchasing power of their employees and members toward going solar at home. The collective purchasing plan is designed to encourage solar awareness, lower solar system costs, and support the state's solar industry.

SunShares is designed to guide participants in the process of going solar together. As an extra incentive, those who choose to go solar through the plan will be rewarded with a lower price. The ability to pursue a bulk solar purchase minimizes customer acquisition costs that result in cost savings for the industry that can be passed along to consumers.
