That's not too bad at all. I haven't really taken the time to get the details of their particular systems only the bottom line.
One of my concerns with solar is recalling the 80's and people having a difficult time disposing of panels no longer working. In addition many are including battery banks which are great but again disposal, even recycling could be an issue.
My neighbor is a retired electric company employee he's wondered how we'll power all of the ev vehicles becoming mandatory in the not too distant future. There's so much to be concerned about right now and so many new technologies, programs, and incentives to educate ourselves to...my brain is tired.

The guy who handles our town getting back on the program just told me there's a list and we're about a year and a half down on the list. I'm in the Merrimack Valley, hopefully you're higher on the list. I'm thinking Inspire or Townsquare, neither have cancellation fees.

What type of financing do they have going on for them, if any? Do you know? A couple of neighbors did them but paid outright. Both ran between 40 and 50k.

I just did a post about this the other day. It seems only some areas of the state got that increase others increase isn't as great. Mine is the same as yours and I'm not happy. Our town let the agreement expire and it will be likely a year and half before they get another. Awesome timing on dropping that ball, we were not informed.
With everything gone paperless billing I haven't kept as close a watch. The bill has never changed so drastically and I've been paying it for many decades. Now we have to watch it like the stock market and gamble on our choices like we're playing the lottery.
Definitely keep an eye out for early termination fees and monthly additional fees. It sucks this will likely be part of our life now, following the prices, bouncing around chasing them, a bunch of companies now have all of your private information, the inevitable issues which come along with doing all that. This is all less and less fun every day.
Edit to add another thing to watch out for is the auto renewal which renews to a variable rather than fixed rate. That should be illegal.

> National Grid posts their rate for the next 6 months
Where are you finding this rate? Are you talking about the site to check all the suppliers or specifically on the National Grid site? I've looked everywhere on the NG site but found nothing. Maybe it's me.
