Watertown residents can participate in a program offering discounts on home solar systems.
Organizers sent out the following information:
From March 1, 2019, to July 31, 2019, Neighborhood Solar joins Watertown Faces Climate Change, a 350 node and a working group of Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and the Environment, Belmont goes Solar, Mothers Out Front, GreenCambridge, and 350-Cambridge, in offering the communities of Watertown, Belmont, and Cambridge a solar group purchase discount program.
An all-volunteer program, Neighborhood Solar offers residents, businesses, and non-profits in Watertown, Belmont, and Cambridge a 20 percent discount on solar photovoltaics and a 14 percent discount on solar hot water. Its installers are SunBug Solar, a seven year-running Angie’s List Super Service Award winner, and New England Solar Hot Water. The offer is designed to take advantage of Massachusetts’ new SMART solar incentive program (photovoltaics), the Mass CEC rebates and Alternative Energy Certificates (solar hot water), the last year of the 30 percent federal tax credit, combined with the best solar prices and the best solar quality and craftsmanship.
