At least 45 contracts have been signed through the Solarize initiative in Goshen and South Bend, with people weighing decisions for about 50 more projects before the Sept 30th signing deadline for 2017 installations.

The Solarize team confirmed yesterday that you can sign a contract before the final 12/31/17 deadline and the Solarize installer will honor the Solarize prices even if your actual installation doesn’t happen until the spring. That can offer some protection if the solar import tariff goes through. And you can get in on ~14 years of net metering with NIPSCO or I&M, as net metering continues to phase-out over the next several years under the new state law.
SOLAR IMPORT TARIFF:
The Trump Administration may decide to add an import tariff on solar before the end of the year. Large-scale projects are on-hold across the country as the industry waits for a decision. (Click here to read NPR’s latest report on this issue).
