Q & A for Medford’s Solarize   

When does the Solarize program end for Medford?

Where are the discounts now?

A.    Medford’s Solarize program has been very successful so far.  The community has reached Tier 4, with a discount over 20%   Additional signups before the October 31st deadline should bring the program to Tier 5  with a discount of almost 25% for all participants!

A.    No.  This is a state-offered rebate. The Mass CEC rebate is unaffected by the shut down.
