Solar
ENERGIZE VERMONT supports locally distributed renewable energy production. This means that we support renewable energy projects where the energy generated is used at, or very near, to the generation source. This reduces the costs and energy loss involved in energy distribution, as well as the impacts on the environment and the community of large scale industrial renewable energy production projects.
SOLAR energy demand is increasing rapidly! More and more residences are utilizing solar to reduce their energy costs and demand on conventional energy and fossil fuels. Due to the increasing competition among providers of solar energy and significant tax incentives, solar energy is becoming a viable option for homeowners, business owners and municipalities.
