The tax credits are worth looking into.
The Solarize Lebanon-Enfield program ended on October 31, having beyond our initial goal of doubling the number of solar installations in our communities. We ended up with 43 contracts signed (27 in Lebanon, 16 in Enfield), representing 314.25 kW of new solar power coming to our towns, and putting us in Tier 5 of the pricing scale, the lowest price for all. At present, three installations are up and running. Installations will continue until the snow flies, and the remainder will be completed in the spring of 2016.
If you or someone you know is still interested in going solar, information about how to move forward can be found on our Vital Communities website. vitalcommunities.org/energy/solarize/lebanon-enfield
It is not too late to contact an area installer, get a quote and add your name to the Liberty Utilities wait list for when net metering resumes, we hope, in early 2016. We will also continue to keep you in the loop on other projects and events related to energy in our communities.
The program had its share of hardships as we moved through the summer. Limited funds caused a hold and then a reduction in the NH state rebate. Liberty Utilities reached it's net metering cap in July, requiring that many homeowners get on a waitlist before going solar. The success of our program despite these setbacks can be directly attributed to the support that we have received from you, our supporters and interested residents in our communities. Thank you for following our updates, helping to spread the word, considering solar energy for your homes, advocating for policies that help homeowners go solar, and helping out in more ways than we can list here.
Sincerely, and gratefully,
The Solarize Lebanon-Enfield Volunteer Team
