This 52-solar panel system is designed to generate 19,691 kWh per year, which is 108% of the homeowner’s annual electricity usage. It is bringing the homeowner a lot of value by locking in an implied electric rate of $0.05 kWh. The homeowner is using a solar loan to pay for his system and his Net Financial Benefit is […]

A few years ago, we never would have installed solar on the east- and west-facing roofs of this ranch home. Only the small south-facing section of the hip roof would have been considered a “good roof”. But as solar panel prices have dropped, the economics have improved. Installing on three sides of this roof made […]

Talk about independence. These Leicester, MA homeowners began making their own clean energy, asserting their independence from the electric company, the day before the 4th of July! Their monthly electricity budget is now $20 a month less than it was before solar. How did we calculate that? We took the amount of their monthly solar […]

Imagine suddenly paying one-fifth the usual price for your groceries, or mortgage. Wouldn’t that be nice? That’s what solar is doing for this Worcester, MA homeowner.

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.

At no time did I feel pressured. Clean Energy’s proposal was thorough and easy to understand, the installation process itself very professional throughout. I […]

Not all solar panels are installed “portrait” (tall) orientation, with horizontal rails running across the roof. For this Bolton, MA system, we used “landscape” (long) orientation to make best use of the space. This layout required running the rail up and down the rather steep roofs. The customer posted this review on the Better Business […]

This solar energy system is small by 2017 standards, with only eight panels. But the SunPower panels pack a punch. And the impact on the family’s electric bills is kind of mind-blowing. Today, they pay Unitil about 23₵ per kWh. With normal inflation, that will be more like 63₵ in 25 years time. But with solar? […]

Sometimes the trees make it hard to get a good photo of a new solar energy installation, but the more important thing is that the roof is mostly shade-free. That’s the case with this Leominster home, which has 37 panels installed on two roofs. If you look carefully, you can see the panels on the […]
