Natick challenges you to install solar panels, heat pumps

by Leave a Comment

Natick has joined forces with Ashland, Framingham, and Holliston in hopes of encouraging residents and small businesses to install solar panels and switch to air-source or ground-source heat pumps for heating and cooling.

The MetroWest Solar + Clean Heat Challenge offers no-cost clean energy assessments and discounted pricing on the gear from vetted vendors. The towns hope that residents and businesses will buy in and talk it up to neighbors.

Installers will pitch their wares and answer questions during a June 17 webinar from 7-8pm.

The offers are good through year-end.

For more information about the program and the technologies, visit MetroWestCleanEnergy.com or contact metrowestcleanenergy@gmail.com. Natick residents and small businesses can also contact Natick Sustainability Director Jillian Wilson Martin regarding the program or volunteer opportunities at jwmartin@natickma.org.
