The City of Westminster launched Solar Switch Westminster to help homeowners and small businesses understand their solar options and save money and secure a quality rooftop solar installation.

The Solar Switch Westminster fall program is now open for registrations.

How does Solar Switch work?

Solar Switch organizes groups of homeowners to buy solar, together. By organizing a group purchase for solar panels, Solar Switch can get a better deal for everyone in the group.
