MassCEC conducted Solarize Massachusetts in Harvard to encourage residents and businesses to join forces to go solar as a community.
Solarize was a Spectacular Success!
Harvard proved the model. By joining forces with New England Breeze Solar and Massachusetts CEC, we reduced the cost of an average solar PV system by more than 25%.
During the program 75 households purchased solar photovoltaic systems with total capacity of 403 kilowatts. Each year, these systems will reduce Harvard's carbon footprint by ~580,000 pounds.
Solar after Solarize
The Solarize program concluded on October 31, 2011. If you missed out on the program but still want to pursue a solar project at your home or business, please contact New England Breeze Solar or use one of the web sites below to locate an alternate installer:
Alternatively, if your home or business is not suitable for a solar system, you can install your system in the Community Solar Garden.
