Solarize Somerville donated solar array announced

Hello neighbors--

 

I have some terrific news. In fact, it's probably my favorite thing that happened this year. A local non-profit has been selected to get the 5kW array that was a result of our success with Solarize Somerville. It has just been announced today:

"Local non-profit CASPAR, Inc. (Cambridge and Somerville Program for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Rehabilitation) will soon expand its tremendously positive impact on the community. The organization was selected to receive a 5kW solar array donation that, once in place, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions – and lower utility bills. The 5kW array donation from SolarFlair, the City’s installation partner, is the result of resident participants exceeding the goal of the citywide Solarize Somerville initiative to install 400 kW of installed solar capacity. So far, SolarFlair has installed 99 solar arrays, adding 531.34 kW of installed solar capacity to Somerville."

Thanks so much to the volunteers who helped to get the word out during our program, and to those of you who were able to participate in the program to help us reach this goal.

 

In the spring we'll have a celebration when they get their panels done. I'm delighted that this very worthy cause--in this time of the opioid crisis--can benefit from this green power and help them with their baby laundry and breast pumps!

 

I hope this will warm your hearts during this chilly winter time, and that you have wonderful holidays, whatever you celebrate.
