The Newton Solar and Home Energy Fair will include information on the various state and federal incentives available to homeowners. You can also learn how the city is taking advantage of solar and meet with a number of installers to see what might work for your home.

There will even be providers with options for homeowners who may not be able to host solar on their own roofs, but are looking to support and use renewable energy.
