En colaboración con otras partes interesadas regionales, Longmont evaluará las oportunidades que surjan para los modelos de compra grupal similares a los programas de compra grupal de energía solar, a medida que estén disponibles y sean viables. Este enfoque supone la disponibilidad de equipos y de mano de obra para instalarlos a gran escala.
The City is partnering with Solar United Neighbors and other Boulder County jurisdictions to promote the Switch Together rooftop solar group-buy offering. This program vets and contracts with specific installers and streamlines the process for getting rooftop solar. This offering was available to Longmont customers in 2025 and will continue in 2026.
City staff are coordinating with other county jurisdictions and a heat pump aggregator (SwitchTogether) to support an offering for Longmont customers that could reduce equipment costs and consolidate qualified installers in the area. A similar pilot program was deployed in 2025 by the Town of Erie and SwitchTogether that will be available in other Boulder County areas in 2026.
