I just finished writing letters to the largest plastic bottle polluters, and I think you should, too. Did you know that 90% of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs? Plastic is seriuos problem, so pleasejoin me in the quest of messaging companies and telling them to use alternative methods, such as aluminum. Or maybe even message a senator? Here's a list of some places I contacted: -Poland Springs -Nestle -PepsiCo -Coke

For years, I looked at my south-facing roof and thought "I should get solar panels". In 2023, I began the process with an outreach to Energize Wayland, and ultimately selected East Coast Solar.  We have been hooked up to the grid for about two months now, and have started to see a substantial drop in electric bills. East Coast Solar was great.  Our project was somewhat complex because our house had multiple roof surfaces.  They proved knowledgeable, responsive, and very professional.  Thank you also to Energize Wayland; Kaat helped us at several points in the process. 
(The Town inspectors and the grid operator worked more slowly, however things finally got into gear and we got our new meter and grid certification.)
I still love looking at the solar app to see how much power we are generating.
If your house is a fit, I definitely recommend rooftop solar, and if you go that route, I highly recommend East Coast Solar. 

Once I decided to go with home solar installation, I started by self-learning with MassCEC website, then I asked for quotes both directly and via EnergySage. Now, the more quotes I had to compare on a "cost-per-watt" basis, the more overwhelmed I was by the choice of options and the various languages around warranty.

Thanks to solar coaching offered by Energize Wayland and Plugin Metrowest, I could get past my analysis/paralysis stage on how to decide between the quotes.

Like any other home improvement project where you're looking to hire a contractor, once you have narrowed down your budget and your design, you just want to gather 3 to 5 similar quotes to compare installers. Then your final choice comes down to a judgment call on the company size you feel most comfortable with and the fit/trust you could sense with the installer.

The overall installation then approval process took 4.5 months, and I am a happy solar energy producer since mid-September 2024!

I signed up with NexAmp for community solar, and saved over $380/year on my electric bill. I was on a waitlist for a year -- but it's worth it. One caution: you can build up credits during the summer when the community solar project produces more energy credits than we use; I then use up the credits in the winter. And we know we are helping support more solar production with a MA company
