I've had panels since Jan 2019. Best decision ever. I occasionally get a bill in Sept and some winter months, but I also can just use my A/C whenever I want in the summer and not care about it. I'd love to add more panels, but I am apparently limited by RIE from adding more.

Make sure you ask for it "all the way" too, while you're at it.

Brown U. graduation and alumni reunions are Memorial Day weekend so don’t go near College Hill if you are here then. It’s madness.

You all should thank the rest of the taxpayers who funded the panels as opposed to patting yourselves on the back for joining the subsidized program. Remember, this is one of the reasons are federal and state taxes are so high... the government gives taxpayer dollars away and we end up getting taxed more. Taxes are the biggest expense for the middle and lower class... let's not forget that.

Yeah but also nobody bats an eye at frames, stickers and other shit.
The law contains specific wording that says your plate has to be free from foreign material. Foreign material is any object placed on the plate. Some examples are affiliation stickers, license plate frames and covers.

If you want your windows tinted and don’t mind the hassle of redoing it every couple years then you should.

Used a reputable, local company that employs their own installers. Workmanship guarantees for 10 years (a bullshit company won’t offer any of that) No money down, got a loan and amortized it when the federal tax credit came in (currently 30%). Company also handled all the paperwork- I didn’t have to talk to the power company once. My roof was only a year old- panels generally have 20-25 year warranty so you’ll want your roof to outlive that.

2 major comments to add… 1. Always buy never lease. 2. Never buy a solar system without a battery

Weird. I did work to my house so called my insurance to adjust the value. They just asked me a few questions on what I did and what else is on my property like deck, patio, shed

Biggest reason to go with an installer is because they should know how to install the panels on your roof while minimizing damage. An electrician would be able to wire it up, but you should be installing them yourself.
Honestly, if I had the time and energy, I would probably build a stand-alone solar array, as a patio cover, somewhere in full sun away from my house. That would be worth doing on HELOC and electrician

Look at south coast MA, you can buy a 3 BR home in wareham close to the ocean for less than $500k — these communities have so many services and activities (Wareham even has a Cape Cod Baseball League team in the summer!)

Don’t lease, buy outright. Read reviews, those will be telling about a company. Make sure you’re getting a company that has been around awhile

Chomp for good fried chicken sandwiches, Knead for donuts (better than PVD in my opinion), plenty of breweries to explore if you like beer. Newport is fun if you want to see a bunch of old mansions and eat some good seafood. Narragansett/Charlestown are 35-45 minutes away for even better seafood and less crowded than Newport(if you’re coming in warmer months). If you do come to Narragansett, the sea wall is beautiful and Coast Guard House is worth the price because the food is delicious and the view is amazing. Narragansett lighthouse and Fisherman’s Memorial are great scenic spots.

A lot of my solar customers have gotten a HELOC to finance their project.. working with a local company is the way to go.
