Solarize Charlotte-Mecklenburg Launches June 25

In a partnership with local govenments and Solar Crowdsource, Centralina Regional Planning is excited to announce the launch of Solarize Charlotte-Mecklenburg, a community-driven solar group-purchase program aimed at making solar energy more affordable and accessible for local homeowners and businesses. 

Join us for a special launch event on Wednesday, June 25, at 6 p.m. at the Innovation Barn in Charlotte. The evening will feature engaging speakers, program details, networking opportunities and resources to help you—or someone you know—go solar. 

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
