MA Awards Funding to Picktricity for Thin-Film Solar Panels on Municipal Water Tanks

Municipalities Encouraged to Take Advantage of Funding Opportunity

CENTERVILLE, MA – April 9, 2019 – The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) selected Picktricity, LLC, to participate in the DeployMass program, a statewide grant program encouraging the introduction of cutting-edge clean energy and water technologies into the municipal marketplace.

After a comprehensive review process, Picktricity’s technology was chosen to receive a coveted spot on the Commercially Ready Technologies (CRT) list.  Inclusion on this list enables access to generous state grant funds for use in providing custom solar systems to public sector municipal customers on above-ground water storage tanks across the Commonwealth.  MassCEC encourages municipalities to work through Picktricity to gain access to these grants for solar installations.

“Acceptance into this program is a great opportunity as well as a significant validation of our efforts.  We believe this opens up the public sector to the technology so they can accept it as private industry has started to,” said Kevin Maloney, President and founder of Picktricity, LLC.

The DeployMass Program was launched in 2014 under the name “Massachusetts as a First Customer Program.” It was created in response to the barriers and challenges facing both public entities and innovative clean-tech companies and to encourage cooperation in working together to save the Commonwealth energy and public funds.
