Astrum Solar Selected as Solarize Mass installer for Wayland, Lincoln and Sudbury

Solarize Massachusetts Wayland and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) are pleased to announce the selection of Astrum Solar as the Solarize Mass installer for Wayland, Lincoln and Sudbury. In Wayland, Astrum Solar will work with Kaat Vander Straeten,

the Solarize Mass Community Solar Coach, to implement the program in partnership with MassCEC. A “Solar 201” public meeting will be scheduled shortly to introduce the installer to the community, and answer questions from residents and business owners.

In April 2012, as part of the effort to reach Governor Patrick's goal of 250 megawatts (MW) of solar power installed by 2017, Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard K. Sullivan Jr. announced the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) selected 17 communities to participate in the 2012 Solarize Massachusetts (Solarize Mass) Program, which helps residents and business owners adopt solar photovoltaic (PV) technology.

“Under Governor Patrick’s leadership, Massachusetts is the nation’s leader in clean energy,” said Patrick Cloney, Chief Executive Officer of MassCEC. “We are seeing tremendous growth of solar PV throughout the Commonwealth and now, with the right policies and programs in place, we at MassCEC are tremendously excited to partner with cities and towns across the Commonwealth to bring clean, locally sourced, cost-effective solar electricity generation to individual residences and businesses throughout the Commonwealth.”

“We are pleased to take part in this important initiative as we continue to serve Massachusetts homeowners through our Hopkinton office,” said Michelle Waldgeir, Astrum Solar’s vice president of marketing. “The Solarize Mass program will be instrumental in helping more Wayland residents transition from traditional energy consumers to clean energy producers.”

Solarize Mass is a program of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center that encourages the adoption of small scale solar PV by deploying a coordinated education, marketing and outreach effort, combined with a tiered pricing structure that provides increased savings as more people in the community go solar. MassCEC provides technical support and hosts free educational meetings in the participating communities to educate people about the benefits of installing solar and to drive interest in implementing the technology.

“There is no doubt in my mind that together we will reach the highest price reduction for all and that we will show that our town truly is a Green Community, an example of sustainable and responsible energy use,” said Kaat Vander Straeten, solar coach for Wayland.

MassCEC, in partnership with the DOER’s Green Communities Division has selected the cities and towns of Acton, Arlington, Boston, Hopkinton, Melrose, Mendon, Millbury, Montague, Newburyport, Palmer, Pittsfield, Lenox, Shirley, Sutton, Wayland, Sudbury and Lincoln, to participate in Solarize Mass.
