The four outer Cape towns have combined under the Solarize Mass program of MassCEC and DOER to participate in the Solarize Mass Program.
- ACE Solar is the selected installer. Their local office is in Eastham across from the Sheraton.
- They are offering very competitive prices.
- The program has five pricing tiers. As more people have signed up, the price has gone down. We achieeved the lowest price, Tier 5.
- The currently offered price is 2.60/kW for Hanwha QCELL blk-G4.1-295 all black solar panels and 3.13 /kW for a top of the line 360 Watt LG panel LG360Q1C-A5.
- Options for outright purchase, purchase with Solar Loan, or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
Second Home Owners: ACESolar has extended its exclusive Tier 1 Pricing to residents with an off-Cape property. To qualify, the property owner must sign a contract with ACESolar during the Solarize Campaign for their property on Cape Cod. Once the contract has been signed ACESolar will honor the Tier 1 pricing for any and all qualifying properties located within their service area (currently MA, RI, and NH.)
Here is how we are doing since we selected ACESolar as our installer under the Solarize Mass program. We have had over 200 people indicate an interest in our Solar program. All have been contacted within a week, once the vendor was selected. We have passed Tier 5 in signed capacity.
