Solarize – Pomfret/Woodstock

Solarize Pomfret/Woodstock 2014-15

With the help of Vital Communities, Sustainable Woodstock and Catamount Solar partnered together to for the Solarize Upper Valley initiative.  Between October 2014 and January 2015 residents in Woodstock and Pomfret signed up for 25 new solar arrays in our communities. With over 50 known solar arrays in our area now, we were able to double the amount of solar we had in 2014!

Our Testimonials

Woodstock Year Installed: 2010 Size: 36 panel solar array Installer: ReKnew Energy Systems Incorporated Jill Davies and Nigel Hollis moved into their home in Woodstock about five years ago. Before moving in they did a lot of work on the home because they “wanted to maintain the streetscape but have a modern house with as many “green” features as [they] could to make a house that would last with low ongoing bills.”- Jill

Taftsville Year Installed: 2014/ 2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 5.46kW Installer: Catamount Solar “Their workmanship and professionalism were first-rate.  A very nice company. We were very pleased.  Really a good choice.” “From the woman on the phone to the guys on the roof, everyone was fantastic to work with.”- Denise and Michael

Woodstock Year Installed: 2014/ 2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 4.2kW Installer: Catamount Solar “Dee and I are very pleased with the performance of the solar array that was installed in February of 2015… In the previous two years, our electricity bill averaged $158 per month. It now averages $29 per month. This translates into a savings of approximately $1,500 per year. If this continues, in seven years we will have paid for the array in full. Go solar!” – Jack Anderson

South Woodstock Year Installed: 2014/2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 4.4kW Installer: Catamount Solar “…of course I am delighted with the system, and think the crew did an excellent job.”- Clover Durfee

Woodstock Year Installed: 2014/2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 7.61kW Installer: Integrity Energy “I’m not sure what more to say than how happy we are with the campaign, the resulting pricing, the ease of installation and the great productivity we are now experiencing. We sized our system to meet our needs when we live here full time (not for a couple more years), so right now we are over-producing. But it appears our production is spot on for our projected use.”– Mike Russell

Year Installed: 2014/2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 4.34kW Installer: Catamount Solar “Our experience with Catamount Solar was very positive. Now that we have put the capital expense behind us we love getting our electricity bills. For three months we have owed no money and have been build credit towards those colder, grey months.” – Pamela Williams

Woodstock Year Installed: 2014/2015 Solarize Pomfret/ Woodstock Size: 4.95kW Installer: Catamount “We are highly pleased with the solar panels. Our electric bill is definitely lower and one month it was as low as $30.00. Solarize had a very experienced and hard working crew. They stuck to the job even in the bitter cold of last winter. I would give them an A+. I am surprised that on a fully cloudy day I’m still producing solar electricity.” Bill Sullivan
