Solarize Somerville: official launch, first educational outreach event
Solarize Mass Somerville is a community initiative to increase the adoption of solar power for the city's homes and businesses. There's a press release out with a lot of the features of the program: http://www.somervillema.gov/news/solarize-campaign-sets-goal-200-somerville-property-owners-commit-install-solar-panels-0
The next big event is next Tuesday July 26, 6pm, at the TAB building, 167 Holland St., it's an evening of informational talks by representatives of the MassCEC (Clean Energy Center), the selected installer for Somerville SolarFlair, and the city's volunteer Solar Coach Mary Mangan, and we will help residents to understand some of the basic of solar power, the program benefits, and the process of going solar.
The Solarize website has been updated: http://www.somervillema.gov/sustainaville/solarize.html You can check the maps and see if your house is suitable for solar. There are other project-related things to explore as well.
Please share the information with your networks to help us Solarize Somerville.
