A Solarize workshop that will connect residents of Lyme and Old Lyme, solar installers, solar finance experts, and representatives of the Connecticut Green Bank will be held Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. at Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School.

The Solarize CT program aims to raise awareness about solar energy and provide opportunities for residents to install solar panels at an affordable price. As a result of the Solarize campaigns in the two towns, more than 110 residents have registered their properties for a free solar evaluation.

This workshop will provide information for both newcomers as well as those who are already evaluating their options. Computers and solar coaches will be available to help residents sign into the online marketplace platform and get started with their free evaluation.

There are 15 communities in round 5 of Solarize - with a goal to more than double the amount of solar in each community, according to a news release. More than 40 communities have already participated in Solarize campaigns, resulting in more than 2,000 homeowners signing contracts for solar.

More information about can be found by visiting www.solarizect.com/Lyme and www.solarizect.com/OldLyme. Those seeking help with the online marketplace platform can call Kimberly Le at (617) 302-6523.

In the event of a snow cancellation, the meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 2.
