After a recent on-line survey indicated that Melrose residents have a strong interest in learning more about solar energy, the City applied for and received a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to participate in the Solarize Mass Program. Melrose is one of 17 Massachusetts Green Communities eligible for the program, which offers discounts to homeowners and businesses intere
sted in installing photovoltaic (PV) panels. Solarize Mass is part of an effort to reach Governor Patrick's goal of 250 megawatts of installed solar power by 2017. The Solarize Mass Program includes a tiered pricing structure that provides increased savings as more people in the community contract for solar PV. The timeline for signing up for solar PV through the Solarize Mass program is now through September 30, 2012. Please sign up for a free site assessment through the Solarize Mass website (www.SolarizeMass.com/Melrose), or by sending an email to [email protected].
