The City of Lexington’s second annual campaign to encourage people to purchase solar equipment is underway. According to a news release, last year more than 70 solar panel arrays were purchased and installed through Solarize Lexington. Jada Griggs is the city’s senior program manager for sustainability. She said the city negotiated discounts of up to 15 percent off the wholesale price of solar equipment.
“We put out an RFP, the installers replied to that, and then we vetted those installers. This is a step by step process to get the homeowners through so that they can take out the guesswork of trying to figure out how best to go solar.”
