Solarize Longmeadow 2018

The Town of Longmeadow is partnering with the City of Springfield to apply for Solarize, a program sponsored by the Mass Clean Energy Center that will allow our residents to plug into photovoltaic (electricity producing) solar at reduced prices. The program has been successful at providing significant savings on solar installations in communities throughout the Commonwealth. If accepted into the program, Longmeadow residents and businesses would be offered several opportunities for cost savings on energy-efficiency and climate-resiliency. But we need your help.

If you live or work in Longmeadow, we invite you to fill out the survey below, even if you don't think solar is for you, or if you already have solar. We need your input so we can design a program that will meet Longmeadow's needs.

Please also spread the word! Have questions? Email solarizelongmeadow@gmail.com or leave them in the comment box on question 6 and we will get back to you.

Thank you!
