Follow on Google News | Harvard Residents Lead the Way in Solarizing MassThe First Harvard Residents Commit to install solar power as part of the Solarize Mass pilot program. Participants in the program receive deep discounts on solar installation costs.
Tom Williams of Harvard was the first person to sign up for a free solar site evaluation and the first person to commit to a solar installation. “I looked at solar two years ago. The payback for a cash purchase was 12-13 years. With the Solarize Mass Harvard deal, and the SRECs, the economics are almost too good.” Kristen Ferguson of New England Breeze Solar, the selected solar integrator for Harvard, agrees, “A solar electric system that can provide 25-100% of a home’s current electrical usage can pay for itself in the first 4-8 years.” Harvard town residents are eligible for special ‘bulk’ pricing through the Solarize Mass pilot program. Solarize Mass participants who commit to a solar installation by September 30, 2011 will receive discounts of 8-33% off of normal installation prices. A hard working Solarize Mass Harvard committee is spearheading efforts to deliver the message to every household in town. Neighbors and friends are spreading the word in a true grass roots marketing campaign. Each new sign up brings everyone closer to an even lower installed cost. The first ten people to sign up receive a complimentary copy of "The Low Carbon Diet" book. After her free site solar evaluation, Laura Chalifoux says, “We've wanted to do this for years, so I think it's going to be a no-brainer for us, and a great investment in our house. This is such a wonderful program -- many, many thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard to bring solar to Harvard!" End
