Most home improvements you invest in never truly pay for themselves, financially anyway. A new kitchen or patio may provide years of enjoyment and happiness, which is great, but they don’t actually deliver money. Solar is different. With solar, the savings on your electric bill plus green income pay you back for the system itself, […]

A lot of municipal light departments offer good prices on electricity – considerably lower than the big utilities. Such is the case with Shrewsbury. But solar can still bring the price down for homeowners in those towns. For example, this family lowered their unit price for electricity from 10 cents to 6 cents, and that’s […]

By shifting their existing electricity budget into solar, these Townsend, MA homeowners essentially lowered their electricity rate to 3 cents per kWh (locked in). That’s going to buy them a LOT more electricity than they would get from Unitil at 23 cents per kWh (plus inflation). The system was installed on the barn of the […]

This roof is incredibly hard to photograph, but trust us when we say it has 15 solar energy panels spread across two sides of the hip roof. The Sunpower panels have built-in micro-inverters for maximum electricity production. Solar is cutting the homeowner’s electricity rate by more than 50% for annual savings of more than $1,100.

Do you sometimes wish it were easier to ditch your car and use public transport/bicycling/walking to get everywhere? If that were easier, we’d all be doing it! But with solar, you can get the same environmental benefit while putting money in your pocket. This system reduces greenhouse gases equivalent to taking one car off the […]

Ah, the beauty of the 30% federal tax credit on solar. It can be hard to grasp. For this Clinton, MA homeowner, it meant more than $15,000 off the price of his solar energy system. Imagine paying $50 for dinner and then getting $15 off. That’s a pretty valuable “coupon” ! The customer posted this […]

Solar energy systems on flat roofs and hidden under snow are hard to photograph, but this project is too cool to not post for all to enjoy. The owners of this contemporary home replaced the aging shingle roof with an attractive standing seam metal roof. We installed 31 solar panels for them spread across all […]

Make better use of your roofs by installing solar energy systems! This homeowner didn’t have a good solar roof on his house, so he had us put a system on this shed, which is now doubly useful. It stores equipment and produces clean energy for the home. This relatively small system is covering more than […]

You know that saying, Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes? They should add “and utility rate increases” to that. The sun, on the other hand, never raises its rates. This homeowner is no longer affected by utility rate hikes because he shifted his electricity budget to solar. He now pays 2 cents […]

This solar energy system is producing slightly more electricity than the homeowners need. Some people “oversize” their solar to have room for future electricity needs. Maybe they’re getting an electric car, or energy-efficient mini-splits. Others oversize just because it gets more clean energy into the world. This customer’s excitement about going solar was clear from […]
