Hi, this may be about the last energy saving improvement that N51 and 52
need, but I was surprised to learn about MIT's subsidizing home
installations. Please see below if interested.

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Dear N51/N52 Occupants:<br><br>
I wanted to make you aware that the roof of our building will be
"hosting" solar panels within the next few months. No
action is required on your part, nor should there be any effects on your
work. In fact, this email is being sent to make you aware since you
would likely otherwise never realize it. Please share this
information with others in your department as appropriate.<br><br>
Facilities has already begun the preparation work to the electrical and
roofing systems. The actual panels will be installed in March,
depending on weather conditions. The system will have a rated
capacity of 2 kilowatts. The power produced will offset electricity
that would otherwise have been purchased from NStar. The
electricity will be produced with NO greenhouse gas emissions or other
negative environmental impacts.<br><br>
The project is being led by Laxmi Rao of the Department of Facilities
(<font color="#0000FF">lrao@mit.edu</font>). More information on
this project can be obtained at
<a href="http://solarpower.mit.edu/" eudora="autourl"><font color="#0000FF">http://solarpower.mit.edu/</a></font>.
A photo of the installation on the Student Center, is at

Our system will look similar.<br><br>
