Forum on Solar Power

press release: Are you thinking about buying a solar electric system for your home or business? Are you interested in solar investment, but can’t host one on your rooftop or apartment building? Whether you install an electric solar system on your house or invest in a shared community solar system off site, there are many options for lowering your electric costs and carbon footprint at the same time. Now is a great time to evaluate solar electricity investment since solar electric costs have declined dramatically, and federal tax incentives are available through 2019. Fitchburg’s Resource Conservation Commission will host an interactive solar forum on Wednesday, October 19th from 7-9 p.m. at the Fitchburg Library, 5530 Lacy Road, featuring solar experts and local solar providers. Topics will include: solar benefits; community

solar investment options; solar electric costs and rebates; financing options; and how to evaluate rooftop solar potential. There will be plenty of Q&A time, so please bring questions. Door prizes and free pizza will be provided. We hope to see you there!
