The Blackstone Valley Chamber announced that it has joined the new Chamber Solar Challenge in order to help local businesses save on energy costs and encourage development through solar energy.

“The Chamber Solar Challenge provides a great opportunity to help our members cut costs and take advantage of the growing economic opportunities of solar energy,” said Chris Cooney, CCE, President and CEO of Metro South Chamber and Chair of the Chamber Solar Challenge, that was launched in April at the Massachusetts Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives meeting.

The challenge allows businesses and homeowners to install solar quicker, cheaper and easier by giving consumers multiple quotes from local solar installers through the EnergySage Solar Marketplace.

“The energy costs in Massachusetts are one of the highest in the nation. We must begin utilizing diverse sources of energy. Through the Solar Challenge, the BVCC aims to collaborate to help our members install solar, save money, and strengthen the local economy through investment and job creation within the solar industry.” said Jeannie Hebert, President and CEO of BVCC.

The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce is the 13th chamber to join the challenge.

The Challenge runs until January 31,2017,
