Auction Off Your Sunny, Unused Roof Space

 

SolarRoofIs your roof just sitting there? We at Walker Engineering are looking at Gridbid to solve some of that.  Launching nationwide June 15, is a website where homeowners can put their roofs up for auction for use by one of the U.S.’s 4,000 solar power installer companies. Interested companies will bid on a rooftop, then roof-owners choose a winner based on the best deal.

And companies can save 80 percent of what they would normally spend to scout rooftop locations and install power sources.
