QUINCY Because enough Quincy property owners signed up to install solar panels through Solarize Quincy, a Quincy nonprofit will receive a free solar power system.
Solarize Quincy is a state-backed program that offers discount-priced solar panels through group buying.
Rebecca McWilliams, the Solarize Quincy team coach, said 76 property owners had signed new solar contracts with the company SolarFlair as of July 30.
The solar arrays called for in those contracts have a total power generation capability exceeding 400 kilowatts. The meeting of the 400-kilowatt threshold means that SolarFlair, Solarize Quincys exclusive installer, will donate a 5-kilowatt solar system to a nonprofit in the city.
