It could become easier for Egg Harbor residents to install solar technology onto their property by this fall. The village of Egg Harbor is already a couple months into a consulting contract looking at ways to streamline the process of getting small-scale solar panels installed at homes and small businesses. Village Administrator Ryan Heise says education is part of the process.

Egg Harbor is one of ten communities in the state seeking SolSmart designation in 2019, something Heise hopes to accomplish by October. SolSmart is a program created by The Solar Foundation to assist and recognize communities taking the steps to become more friendly for those wanting to invest in the technology.
