Homeowners throughout Vermont are turning green – and saving green – with the help of Alteris Renewables. Now is your opportunity to learn why and how they decided to power their homes and businesses with clean, efficient, affordable solar energy.

Visit homes and businesses like Maclay Architects in Waitsfield, environmental design leaders in Vermont for more than 37 years that have gone solar with their dual purpose carport and 17.55kW solar array. The office has achieved net-zero with the addition of the carport array and their existing 2kW tracker and air source heat pump. Maclay will be opening its doors on October 2nd as part of the Solar Tour to share its solar success story with others interested in savings on their electricity costs and reducing their carbon footprint.

According to Ron French, President of Alteris Renewables, expanding the use of clean and renewable energy will help build our economy, and create a better, more sustainable lifestyle for all Massachusetts residents. "Imagine how significant the impact will be as more homeowners embrace clean energy. If less than one percent of the homes in Vermont installed solar systems, it would be the equivalent of planting more than 1.6 million trees.”

So, stop by one of the homes in your neighborhood on October 2nd to learn how easy it is to go solar!
