Somerville is in Solarize Mass for 2016!

[mzrowan.livejournal.com]

Just got word from Somerville's Solar Coach that the city has been accepted into the Solarize Mass program for 2016. Official press release: http://www.masscec.com/about-masscec/news/state-energy-officials-announce-five-new-communities-participate-solar-program (very dry and formatted so badly it's nigh unreadable)

From the email: "As the announcement has just been made, we don't have a lot of additional information at this time. But this selection means that we can now work with the city and the state to help residents of Somerville to decide if solar is a suitable option for them and their homes or businesses. We'll be developing and sharing educational materials, we'll have events to help people learn more and get questions answered, and we will help people to understand the processes associated with generating local, artisanal electrons."

I was wondering if anyone would catch that artisanal electrons bit. It's how I started telling my friends about my new panels and it cracked them up. So I thought I'd try it here.

Anyway, I'm going to post a longer form of this with my contact details, since I'm the solar coach and people can contact me for questions.
