On Tuesday, June 21, 2011, Sunlight Solar Energy will host an informational seminar about solar energy and the various incentives that make solar more affordable for Massachusetts homeowners. The event will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Plymouth Public Library, located at 132 South Street in Plymouth, MA.
The presentation will provide an overview of solar technology and will explain how Massachusetts residents can avoid rising utility rates and reduce their energy consumption, while spinning their electric meter backwards. Sunlight Solar representatives Ryan Fitzsimmons and Amy Levine will discuss the various state and federal incentives that reduce the cost of solar energy for homeowners. The presentation will also explain the ideal site conditions for solar energy and the average payback period for solar energy systems in Massachusetts.
Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with Plymouth homeowners who have recently switched to solar energy. Plymouth residents Lou and Sandy Clark recently had a 5.8 kW solar electric system installed on their home that is estimated to cover approximately all of their annual electric usage. “My husband and I had been hoping to get solar panels for years and discovered that with the current renewable energy tax incentives, we could go ahead now, and cover the entire southwestern side of our roof,” says Sandy. “The system should pay for itself within 5 years, and then we’ll actually generate income along with green energy.”
Homeowners are encouraged to bring their electric bills to receive an on-the-spot usage evaluation. A question-and-answer session will follow. This event is free and open to the public; food and drink will be provided. Pre-registration is recommended, as space is limited. For registration and information, please call (617) 332-1870 or send an email to Amy.Levine@sunlightsolar.com.
