RGS Energy has been selected by Solarize Brookfield, a community-based residential solar purchasing cooperative, to bring solar electricity to homes and businesses in the Town of Brookfield, Connecticut.

Solarize Connecticut is a community-supported buying program that offers discounted group pricing, town-wide education and outreach support, high quality equipment at reduced pricing, and flexible financing to significantly reduce the cost of solar for Brookfield’s more than 5,900 homes. The campaign and sign-up period begins May 22, 2018 and will run through September 25, 2018.

“The Town of Brookfield is very happy to bring Solarize CT back to our residents for a second round,” said First Selectman Steve Dunn. “Solarize Brookfield is a way for our residents to save money and reduce their carbon footprint through solar power. Residents can take advantage of solar incentives and different financing options to stabilize their electric bills for years to come. I encourage residents to find out if their home is a good fit for solar with the Solarize CT program. Residents can sign up for a free solar evaluation, or attend a Solarize CT workshop to find out more.”

Thomas Champlin, RGS Energy’s director of East Coast sales, commented: “Our entire east coast organization is very pleased that our service performance continues to be recognized by local townships, with RGS Energy again being selected as the solarize provider of choice. Solarize programs supported by the SmartPower group lead the way to more renewable energy and introduce solar to our communities, where we work and live.”

Brian F. Keane, president of SmartPower, said: “Connecticut is truly becoming a national leader in solar through the Solarize Connecticut program. Working in partnership with communities all over Connecticut, Solarize Connecticut has helped residential solar grow from less than 900 installations in 2012 to over 22,000 today. We continue to see financing and the Solarize model bringing down the cost of solar and making it affordable for more and more homeowners throughout Connecticut.”
