Welcome to the Somerville Solar Challenge!

Somerville won free solar panels!

Any further donations will still be matched back to the town for future projects. The support we received was amazing and we are excited about our leadership in clean energy in Newton.

Thank-You!

Step 1.  150 Somerville households or businesses make qualifying contributions to the New England Wind Fund by June 30, 2008.

Result:  All the money goes to support clean energy wind turbine projects in New England. 

Step 2. The Mass Tech Collaborative pays for buying and installing a 2kW solar array for an Somerville municipal or school building.

Result:  The city saves money on electricity costs, creates fewer greenhouse gases, and helps New England take steps towards energy independence and away from global warming!  

Dear Neighbors,

If by June 30, 150 Somerville households join the New England Wind Fund with qualifying contributions, Somerville will win a 2 kW solar panel array. The Solar Panel Challenge is funded through the Mass Technology Collaborative's Clean Energy Choice Program.

You can choose between two kinds of qualifying contributions to the New England Wind Fund in order to help meet our solar panel challenge:

(1)Join with a one time contribution--a minimum of $100 is required for your contribution to qualify for the challenge program

(2)Join with regular monthly contributions--a minimum of $5 per month will qualify for the challenge program

Thank You,

Your Neighbors at Somerville Climate Action
