Solar Simplified to make pitch about community solar to Crisfield residents July 23

CRISFIELD — At 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, one hour before the regular Mayor and City Council meeting, representatives from Solar Simplified will present information about enrolling in its community solar program during a public meeting to be held at the Corbin Gallery on East Main Street.

Crisfield has an opportunity to officially endorse this, and in return receive a civic contribution of $50 per enrollee, however the City Council has not made a decision about doing this and wanted to hear from the public first.

There is no fee to participants, and the use of solar energy would appear on monthly Delmarva Power bills as a 10% reduction of the total solar energy credit calculated by the utility. For example, if the solar energy was valued at $100 it would show $10 off the bill.

The company has capacity available, and is planning additional solar farms in Salisbury and Pocomoke.

There are three community solar entities currently serving the Crisfield area. For more information about current programs visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Sage website or go to https://www.energysage.com/shop/community-solar and enter your Zip Code.

In addition to Crisfield, Solar Simplified made the same offer to the Princess Anne Commissioners which failed in June to take a vote on the proposal.
