The NEPOOL GIS issues and tracks certificates for the production of renewable energy in New England. Cross-referencing this information allows mapping of most, but not all, installed systems participating in the SREC and SREC-II programs, which ran through the end of 2018. The information gathered changed with the start of the SMART solar incentive program in January, 2019. We are working to obtain more specific information for the systems installed in 2019 and 2020 under that SMART program.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a solar system on your home that is not included and would like to have it show up on the map, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:info@greenneedham.org\">info@greenneedham.org<\/a> and we will follow up with you to add the system to our map.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A map of Solar PV installations in Needham This map shows installed solar PV systems in Needham.
