Solar Neighbourhoods celebrates success!

Thanks to the enthusiastic response from residents of Wards 29, 30, 31 and 32, the Solar Neighbourhoods Pilot Project has now reached its target of 100 systems ready for installation in our pilot program area.  That means a very successful end to our special incentives and loans for solar hot water, but it does not mean an end to our support for homeowners interested in using the free energy of the sun.  In fact, installing a solar hot water system makes good sense even without the Solar Neighbourhoods incentives.  Here are just some of the reasons to consider solar right now:

• The Solar Neighbourhoods team can still provide information on selecting a system.
  
  
• Some suppliers, including the Bullfrog-Enbridge solar program, offer special financing or you can talk to your bank about options like a secured line of credit. This can reduce the cost of solar to about what you pay for cable TV every month.

Thank you to everyone for supporting this pilot program to advance zero emission renewable energy use in Toronto.  And remember: Solar Neighbourhoods staff will still be here and happy to answer your questions for some time to come – 416-393-6370 or email info@solarneighbourhoods.ca. 

As a pilot program, Solar Neighbourhoods was designed to advance understanding of the best ways in which to advance the implementation of this technology in Toronto and elsewhere. We are pleased to announce the release of our initial findings report on the Solar Neighbourhoods Program.
