Boston Mayor Thomas Menino yesterday asked city residents to sign up for the Renew Boston Solarize program before Nov. 30. After this deadline, Bostonians will not receive the program’s current bulk pricing offer.

Since Renew Boston Solarize’s Aug. 26 launch, it has signed contracts with 60 Boston residents to install a combined total of 302 kilowatts of solar power and has reached Tier 4 community pricing. More than 700 homeowners have received or scheduled solar home assessments, and the program is well on its way to reaching its goal of "solarizing" 150 homes.

"My team is dedicated to reaching even more residents to see if going solar is right for them," Menino said in a statement. "Through the Renew Boston Solarize program, residents can lock in lower energy costs, create new clean energy jobs right here in Boston and help us continue to ‘greenovate’ our city."

Renew Boston Solarize has partnered with Next Step Living, a whole-home energy solutions company, to conduct the program’s solar home assessments and bring competitively priced solar panels to Boston homeowners by providing more affordable rates and streamlining the process for going solar. 

The solar program is part of Greenovate Boston, Menino’s citywide branding for Boston’s sustainability initiatives.
