In December 2018, Wellesley was designated a "SolSmart Silver" community for making it faster, easier and more affordable for homes and businesses to go solar.
Currently, the Town has:
- 98 Residential solar installations generating 656 MWHs/year
- 11 Commercial solar installations generating 166 MWHs/year
- 3 WMLP installations generating 97 MWHs/year
Together these solar systems generate 919 MWHs/year of clean renewable energy in the Town of Wellesley.
WMLP has also entered into a Letter of Intent to lease the roof of a private development at 900 Worcester Street in order to install approximately 1 MW of rooftop solar on the building. Beginning in the Spring of 2019, this arrangement is expected to double the amount of solar power in town.
