Hello _______,

I hope this email finds you in good health and in even better spirits! I’m writing because I’m supporting a community solar program for our area called One Block Off the Grid. One Block Off the Grid (1BOG), is a nationwide movement to create group-based buying clubs for products such as solar panels to reduce energy footprints and promote energy independence.

We have been able to negotiate discounts of 15-20% off market rate and provide comprehensive financing options for neighborhoods that want to get affordable solar power. In our efforts to bring renewable energy to the tipping point, we have become the largest green community program in the country, and are expanding our efforts in [YOUR CITY].

We would love to enlist your support in getting our neighborhood off the grid. We rely on volunteers, community groups, and like-minded green organizations to build momentum for our solar movement.

The campaign is on going in our area this month! It is an exciting time to be involved and help the 1BOG solar movement get [YOUR CITY] off the grid! We can use all the help we can get in spreading the word. And if you can’t go solar but know people who are interested, please spread the word! This is a grassroots movement, and will only be successful if we all do our part.

Thanks so much for your support!

More details about 1BOG:

One Block Off the Grid (1bog.org) is organizing homeowners in the [YOUR CITY] to get solar energy in a group. By using economies of scale, 1BOG negotiates large discounts from top solar installers on behalf of its members.

How it works:

1. Signup at 1bog.org and provide some info about your roof, electrical usage, etc. This is all free and there’s no commitment. They don’t get spammy with emails and keep your information private.

2. They keep you up to date on the program through email and run some nifty webinars about the basics of solar and the 1BOG program. Someone from 1BOG contacts you nd explains the basics.

3. If solar looks like it might be a fit, they forward your info to the chosen installation company who evaluates your home, and provides a quote under the negotiated pricing (again, no commitment here). Everything is set in stone and all the details are published on their website, so everyone gets the same deal.
