ASSISTANT TOWN ADMINISTRATOR William J. Scott APPROVED MAY 0 12024 YAHMOl1TH This letter is a request to allow the properties that received decision from Old Kings Highway Historic District Commission, and were subject to the Solar Wolf issues, to proceed with their projects under those approvals. Around May of 2022 it was discovered that Solar Wolf, a solar installation company, defrauded approximately 70 households by requesting funds then not performing the installation. Of the 70 households, 19 households had received approvals through the Old Kings Highway District Committee. These approved plans have not changed since that approval. Other households requiring further action are at the bottom of the list. Since May 2022, these homeowners have been moving through various legal matters to attempt recovery. The State and Town have been working toward a solution to resolve the homeowners' issues. In October of 2023, the Town, and MassCEC (Massachusetts Clean Energy Center) executed an agreement to work together toward resolving the homeowner issues. The Town has been coordinating communications with the homeowners, confirming the client list among other steps. MassCEC, since October has been working with SunPower and Incite Energy toward providing relieve for the households impacted by Solar Wolf. Described in its simplest form, the unique program titled "Yarmouth Assistance Program" will provide installations and cover costs already paid to Solar Wolf. Because of the Solar Wolf issues, and the resulting program interruption, none of the homes with valid OKH approvals were able to proceed. Therefore, the request is that the households with previous OKH approvals are exempt from the requirements for an extension and as a result will be extended for one year from April I Vh- 2024. With your approval, the attached list of 19 homes that have permits regarding the Old Kings Highway Commission will be allowed to proceed with the understanding of an Exemption that will allow a one-year extension from April 11 `h, the beginning of the Yarmouth Assistance Program. Such extended approvals are understood to be in keeping with the original approval with no planned changes. Sincerely, William J. Scott qq -E0415 s TOWN OF YARMOUTH s 1146 ROUTE 28, SOUTH YARMOUTH.
