davis_square | Solarize Somerville updates; program extension (Reply)

Super news today: we have passed a new milestone! We hit 308.46kW of solar in our fair city with this program so far, and 61 systems. And our recent extension seems to have clicked with folks, so we've got a lot of new interest. Our donated array is within our reach now, for sure.

"Site visits are now extended through November 23 and participants have until December 16 to decide if they would like to go solar."
