"It's amazing how quickly [solar has] grown. It's something that people are putting on their roofs and businesses are putting on their roofs and the number of jobs that are being created is amazing. In the past few years it's grown a lot. Massachusetts is really one of the lead states in the country in terms of the number of solar installations and the amount of electricity being generated."Doug Minard, Town Manager
