Bill Summary
For legislation to promote solar panel installations on school property. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the installation of solar panels on the properties of K-12 public schools across Massachusetts. It requires the state's Office of Energy Resources, in coordination with the Department of Energy Resources, to establish a program that provides incentives, such as construction requirements, tax benefits, loans, or grants, to encourage the construction, installation, and operation of solar panels at these schools. The program also aims to expand the availability of solar-powered electric vehicle charging infrastructure, conduct roof quality evaluations, and solicit feedback from an advisory working group and the public. The bill directs the Department of Energy Resources to promulgate regulations and recommend any necessary statutory changes to implement the program effectively.
