In Southern Vermont two solarize programs are running full tilt to sign up customers and net big savings on solar.

1. Residents of Brattleboro can join the Brattleboro Solar Summer program and choose from one of several solar installers participating in the program. During the Solar Summer campaign, the five participating solar installers are offering a discount of $50-$200/kilowatt ($250-$1,000 for an average home or business system) or shares in a community solar project (if available). The actual discount will depend on the number of Brattleboro residents that sign up for  solar during the campaign period (May 1 – September 30, 2015):

0-33 residents – $50.00/kilowatt
33-66 residents – $100.00/kilowatt
66-99 residents – $150.00/kilowatt
100 or more residents – $200.00/kilowatt
