The issue with these "leases" is that they include every kilowatt hour these panels will ever generate for the next 30 years at a fairly high rate per kilowatt, with large increases baked in each year. Add in some finance charges and equipment fees, and that huge figure is then simply divided into 30 years of monthly payments and there is your monthly payment. And you will still have some kind of an electric bill as well. Worse, they have a lien on your home that must be satisfied before sale. It's a tremendous scam and I cannot believe Congress hasn't addressed it yet.

The best OP can hope for is to get a lawyer and try to negotiate a buyout with some kind of discount/price reduction. OR if OP can sell the home and convince the buyers to takeover the lease!

These sales folks prey on the elderly too especially because, with a 30 year lease, they know it will be the children/heirs that end up paying the lease off with any profits from the estate sale.

Or I just hear it from about a dozen or so other people in the past four months that it’s a trash company on top of it. Glad you wanna die on that hill though

Funny because everytime I have had to be there I have only had a room once instead of a bed in the hallway. Having that many patients always suffering in a bed in a hallway is pretty ridiculous considering how much money they make in profits. The nurses have the burden of trying to hold that place together. My mom worked in the er there for 10 years. The stories I heard were absolutely insane. That hospital specifically needs to put some more money into helping the nurses build staffing and so many issues I'm just not going g to bring up here.

Contact the attorney general. You’re not the only one with this issue. I’m an electrician who installs and I’ve heard a bunch of horror stories like this. The only ones happy with there Solar are the ones who paid cash for it. Also hire a lawyer every time you sign a contract

The whole sustainable energy thing is a scam, always was. Fossil fuels are here to stay until they run out. The solar and wind scam is just a side hustle for the petroleum monopoly.

Yup, gotta love how in addition to having unnecessary and over the top inspection laws this state adds an additional penalty for the crime of not having a driveway to park in while having said rejection sticker. I’ve said it before and I’ll be happy to say it again - MA inspection laws and penalties are primarily a class tax on lower income residents. Oh and since I’m sure someone will bring this up, there is little to no correlation between car accidents due to mechanical failure and states that have more lenient inspection laws.

I admittedly moved out of Worcester over a decade ago (but it is still my hometown so I lurk here) I’d recommend checking out the New England Pinball league, I used to play in Cambridge every Tuesday and had a blast, I’d bet they have plenty of weekly locations within a reasonable drive from Worcester if not in town. Always had a great time, most of the locations serve alcohol but a good chunk of people didn’t drink.

Most coffee shops/cafe's in that area close early, like by 6pm. Even Dunkin's closes early. There are some really good, established, sandwich shops and cafe's on Main St. between the Courthouse and City Hall that are open during the day. Front St. is a challenging area because after everyone goes home from work, unless there are events at the DCU Center (which let's face it, there's never much going on there lol) there is not much foot traffic other than MCPHS students and maybe some foot traffic from the Mercantile Center. If I had to open a café in Worcester, it wouldn't be on Front St. Lot of competition, not really a high demand area, and the market Downtown is already very competitive.
