Solar is hot.

Just yesterday, politicians and company officials at Kingman Yacht Center in Cataumet inaugurated a 100-kilowatt photovoltaic system. It’s among a growing number of large solar arrays installed on Cape Cod.

Solar panels are covering rooftops on schools, homes and businesses, marking a shift not only in how the region gets its energy but also in opportunities for contractors. Since 2002, almost five megawatts of state-subsidized solar power have been planned on the Cape and Islands, most of it in the past two years, according to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
