 Everyone's Going Solar! Learn How You Can Too!
Updates:
In April 2011, MassCEC launched Solarize Massachusetts in the towns of Harvard, Hatfield, Scituate and Winchester to encourage residents and businesses to join forces to go solar as a community. By joining together, residents in these four towns realized cost savings through bulk purchasing and helped install a total of 829 kilowatts of solar PV. A total of 162 residents or businesses contracted to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems through the Solarize Massachusetts pilot. The results for each town are below.
Before the launch of Solarize Mass Harvard had 13 residential systems installed, Hatfield had five residential systems installed, Winchester had four residential systems installed and Scituate had seven residential systems installed. The solar capacity installed through Solarize Massachusetts will save 651 metric tons of CO2 annually. During their lifetimes, these PV systems will save over 13,000 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 2,500 cars.
