Western Massachusetts Green Night, Community Shared Solar: Making “Solar for All” a Reality, October 11th, MA
Event Description
85% of Massachusetts households don’t have a viable roof for solar or are financially unable to install solar on their own property. In Westhampton, Clarksburg, Hinsdale, Pittsfield, Cloverdale, Holliston, and other locations across Massachusetts community shared solar installations are, or will soon provide those previously unservable households with access to solar.
With no need for upfront investment, savings on electricity from day one, minimal buyer qualifications, an easy engagement process, and special incentives for low-and-moderate income households, these community-shared solar facilities are making solar a reality for residents of Massachusetts across the entire range of the economic spectrum. Business and non-profits are also taking advantage of community shared solar, and project opportunities of all sizes are emerging in parking lots, on roofs, and on marginal land across Massachusetts.
Join Co-op Power, Resonant Energy, and the Western Mass Green Consortium for a conversation about community-shared solar and the ways your membership organization or neighbourhood can get involved.
