<h3>GROUP-IT? What is GROUP-IT?</h3>

<p>Created in 2017, GROUP-IT offers support and decision-making assistance to owners in the municipality where a project is launched. Indeed, each project is attached to the territory of one or more municipalities.</p>

<p>The first step, i.e. the receipt of a photovoltaic pre-evaluation with the assessment of the photovoltaic potential, as well as a cost analysis, is free of charge for each participant.</p>

<p>The following process is proposed to project participants:</p>

<ul type="disc">
    <li>A pre-registration on the GROUP-IT web platform.</li>
    <li>A <strong>pre-evaluation</strong> of the house&#39;s solar potential.</li>
    <li>A visit of the house.</li>
    <li>Participation in a grouped call for tenders.</li>
    <li>Sending <strong>the two best offers from companies</strong> to each participant.</li>
</ul>

<p>The second phase of the project, after the reception of the pre-evaluation, is optional and requires the financial participation of each owner wishing to participate in a grouped call for tenders.</p>

<p>In 2020-2021, a dedicated platform has been developed and German is also offered in addition to French.</p>
