🌳 We hope you're enjoying Earth Day! 🌼

As part of it, we are proud to announce the City's new Solar Assistance Program, which provides no-cost support to Cambridge businesses, non-profits, and owners of commercial and large residential buildings, making it easy to install solar on their roof.

Commercial and large residential buildings that have the potential to generate at least 25 kilowatts (which roughly translates to a roof of at least 2,500 square feet) of electricity and have roofs that are less than 10 years old are eligible to participate in this program. Large condominiums may be eligible to participate depending on roof size and solar potential.

To learn more, visit the Solar Assistance Program website -- https://www.resonant.energy/cambridge -- or attend an upcoming online information session on Tuesday, May 6 at 1 p.m.
