Green Power: Photovoltaic Energy Production
The table below on the right provides a link to each town's web page ("about") and the annual photovoltaic energy
production by town. The number of photovoltaic sites has been growing dramatically and is expected to exceed two
hundred and fifty sites in 2008. The data is based on information from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative
(MTC) collected in support of Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs). RECs are tradable environmental commodities in the United States and represent proof that a specified
amount of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource. Photovoltaic energy producers that
do not participate in the RECs program are not represented in the data.
