Solar in Vermont
Germany is one of the world’s largest solar energy producers, yet Vermont and other New England states have higher amounts of solar resources available.
There is Enough Sun to Go Around
Solar energy in Vermont really works. Vermont may not be the warmest state, but it gets plenty of sunlight to make installing solar equipment a sound investment. The AllSun Tracker’s active, dual-axis system even generates some electricity on cloudy days because it can position itself to capture ambient sunlight.
This map shows that Vermont’s solar resource is equal to that of many more states usually considered to be sunny spots. Vermont’s solar resource surpasses Germany - which was the largest market for solar photovoltaic installations in 2008. With new federal and state tax credits and other incentive programs available, Vermont has the opportunity to follow Germany’s example and become a leader in solar installations in the United States.*
