The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources has just awarded 10 grants to nonprofit organizations in the state for more rooftop solar power deployment. This is the third round of grants from the department’s Low-Income Services Solar Program (LISSP).
This round of grants totals $2.4 million. The rooftop solar systems will help these nonprofit organizations lower their electricity bills by 70% to 100%. The solar systems will reach 612.3 kW of capacity in total.
“We are thrilled to award grants to this latest group of nonprofit organizations and add more than 600 kW of new solar energy to Massachusetts,” said Energy Resources Commissioner Elizabeth Mahony. “Together, these organizations will pay almost $275,000 less in electricity costs each year, providing more financial resources for their important missions. The solar systems LISSP enables benefit communities by helping local organizations reach more people, and with cleaner air and improved public health.”
