TIVERTON, RI – Governor Gina M. Raimondo and United States Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will join with other state and local officials for the launch of Solarize Tiverton and Little Compton. This is the second round of the Solarize Rhode Island pilot. The first round took place in North Smithfield and was completed in December 2014, with 84 homes and small businesses committing to go solar for a total of 623.7 kW of power.
