Solarize Canton hosting information session Jan. 18

Posted

CANTON -- Solarize Canton will host a community net metering information session Monday, Jan. 18, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 3 ½ East Main St.

Members of the Canton Sustainability Committee will be on hand to explain initiatives being explored to create a Community Net Meter project in Canton.

Community net metering was approved in New York State in 2015 as a way to expand the benefits of solar energy to those who could not install panels on their individual properties.

It enables the creation of community solar gardens that businesses and residents can subscribe to, either with a subscription contract, lease or transferable panel purchase.

Even though the energy isn’t generated on the subscriber’s property, the subscriber gets a credit on his utility bill for the power that goes to the grid from his subscription.

Businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals who rent or own their properties and are interested in accessing the financial and environmental advantages of solar energy are welcome to attend.
