The Midcoast Economic Development District is launching Solarize Midcoast Maine, an initiative to help make solar energy more accessible to residents and small businesses in the region. Solarize Midcoast Maine aims to make residential solar PV energy more accessible to residents and small businesses by taking advantage of a regional bulk purchase and Federal Tax Credits.

MCEDD is requesting proposals from solar photovoltaic installers for solar PV installations as part of the program. The RFP is available at www.cityofbath.com/solarizemidcoastmaine.

Solarize Midcoast Maine is collecting names and email addresses of residents interested in learning more about solar and how a bulk purchase can bring the cost of installation down. To register for Solarize Midcoast Maine, visit https://www.facebook.com/solarizemidcoastmaine/; https://twitter.com/solarmidcoastme; www.cityofbath.com/solarizemidcoastmaine.
