Solarize Charlestown is a partnership of the State of
Rhode Island and the people of Charlestown. This program brings
residents together as a group to obtain the lowest cost and easiest
deal possible on solar panels for your roof or yard. The sign-up period
began on June 7 and ends on September 8. This limited time period
allows a bulk purchase of solar panels, so that the more people who
sign up the less expensive it will be for each household.
This
program is for homeowners and small businesses to produce some or all
of the electricity they use through net metering. It is not intended
for commercial production of electricity. The program is for both
year round and seasonal residents as long as the house or business is
physically located in Charlestown.
On June
7, Sol Power was named the solar installation provider for the
Solarize Charlestown campaign. That selection was the culmination of
a competitive RFP process that began with a large group of qualified
providers, and finally with a very small group of highly qualified
companies. Besides being one of the most highly qualified, Sol Power
also offered the most affordable price. That price becomes even more
affordable as more people sign up!
There are
thousands of acres of rooftops in Rhode Island that could provide the
most ecologically sound place to produce electricity. The Solarize
Charlestown team is making this process as easy as possible. Why not
see if your roof is good for solar?
