I signed with InspireCleanEnergy back in October. .129 as opposed to .339 (I think its higher now, but still less than National Grid. There is no downside. No contract, so if National Grid is cheaper later, just switch back. I switch between National Grid, my town (Auburn) contract, and Inspire.

The Target in Marlborough on Rt 20 is great; it's always well stocked and organized. The one in Westborough on Rt 9 is also fine, but I really don't mind the Lincoln Plaza one. The Walmart in Northborough off Rt 9 is also pretty good, infinitely better than the one in Worcester.

They just knocked down the old Sylvan(?) learning building which I hope is done in plans to merge the two streets as I don't see how keeping both Brooks and Pullman intersections at Mountain St W is feasible with the added traffic.

Even merging those two, it's going to definitely have a large impact on the Mountain St W/Frontage Rd/Brooks intersection.

There’s a Target and Walmart that are both pretty decent on route 9 if you’re looking for both stores in the same vicinity. Otherwise I’d go with the Leicester Walmart and the Millbury Target any day of the week.

Also if you don’t mind the drive, Whitinsville has a nice Walmart that never gets too crowded and is right off 146

I used Smart Green Solar and while everyone I worked with was kind (they didn't have a high-pressure sales pitch at all), it was clear that they prioritize sales of new systems over actually fulfilling and completing existing orders (it's been kind of a nightmare getting everything up and running - everything seemed very disorganized and everyone in the call centers is clearly overworked). Beacon Solar did the actual installation on Smart Green's behalf and they were great, though. It might be worth contacting Beacon directly.

Are you in Worcester? Are you talking rooftop solar? Because ground mounts aren’t allowed in the city.

We met with evergreen solar and likely plan to go forward with them sometime this year. I have friends who had a good experience with sun run.
