SolarFlair Energy Inc., the Solarize Mass installer for Hopkinton, will present "Solar 201" , a public meeting for residents and business owners, on Thursday, June 28 at 7PM at the Hopkinton Senior Center. SolarFlair Energy Inc. will work with Andy Boyce of the Hopkinton Sustainable Green Committee, the Solarize Mass Community Solar Coach, to implement the program in partnership with MassCEC. Contracts must be signed by September 30th at which time the final pricing is locked for everyone based on the number of watts contracted.

Attached below is a spreadsheet of the tiered pricing schedule with all the details for the price adders created by Boyce.

"Assuming your home is reasonably new and well built, most of them will not apply," said Boyce. "If you have an exceptionally steep or tall roof or an old fuse box, some of these adders will kick in. Also some are optional for aesthetic, convenience or higher performance reasons. If you don't want to read your meter on a quarterly basis (how you get paid for SRECS's), you could choose the monitoring option to do it automatically. If the system is 10kW or greater (unlikely), monitoring is required. When SolarFlair comes to do a full site assessment, they will be able to tell you which adders are mandatory and explain why."
