By Greentech
Lead Team: Real Goods Solar, a solar energy integrator, with Massachusetts
Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), have offered a $1.00 per watt Disaster Relief
rebate for the Massachusetts homeowners affected by the tornadoes to rebuild
their homes.

The MassCEC
Natural Disaster Relief Adder is an addition to the Commonwealth Solar II
Rebate Program for homeowners who incorporate solar into their rebuilding
process.  A total of $1M is available in the communities of Brimfield,
Charlton, Hampden, Monson, Palmer, Southbridge, Springfield, Sturbridge, West
Springfield, Westfield, and Wilbraham.

Eligible
homeowners may get up to $5,000 more on the state solar rebate makes solar
energy not only affordable, but a way to save a huge amount of money on their
electric bill.

“Ultimately
this adder will help people to get back on their feet and recover more quickly
while saving money in the long-run,” said Andreas Schmid, the Solar
Specialist from Real Goods Solar.  

“Everyone
rebuilding after the tornado should look into the possibility of solar hot
water or solar electric as a way to reduce or even erase their monthly utility
bill, and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels,” said Andy Brydges,
MassCEC senior director for Renewable Energy.

Last year
Real Goods Solar and Alteris Renewables, announced a definitive merger
agreement to combine two leaders in the solar industry. The combined company will retain
the Real Goods Solar name.
