Sponsored by Madison County and the Renewable Energy Training Center at Morrisville State College, Solarize Madison is a volume-purchasing program that streamlines the process and lessens the cost of installing solar energy for electricity and\/or hot water.\u00a0 Through this volume purchasing approach, the more people in Madison County that decide to install solar, the greater the price reduction for all participants in the program.\u00a0\u00a0 In total, participants in the program can receive up to 75% savings over the full market price for either type of system.\u00a0 The program is open to homeowners, business owners, farms, municipalities, and institutions in Madison County.\u00a0 Under this program, CNY Solar is offering free site assessments through June 28.\u00a0 Enroll for a free site assessment on the website.<\/p>\n

To date, eight contracts for solar hot water systems and six contracts for solar PV systems (total is over 50 kWh) have been signed.\u00a0 With this volume, prices have already dropped to Tier 2 for solar PV and Tier 3 for solar hot water.\u00a0 Pricing tiers for both types of systems can be viewed on the program website.<\/p>\n
