Oh I don’t plan on moving there until I’ve found something. This it just a trip to look at different towns. Im not that much of a risk taker. I figured a post like this would be good for finding out some information on town AND shaking that teacher tree to see what falls out. If there’s one thing I believe it’s all about who you know, now what you know.

Energy Sage is a good resource and is linked to by towns, the state, and fed as a good resource for exploring solar panels.
To add, I would never, ever do business with someone that knocked on my door. Maybe if I got an estimate from them and three other companies and a ton of customer reviews.
I used energy sage and a company that provided a proposal through them. Very happy with the support and work.

My opinion is that door-to-door sales is a scam tactic. I know people who have worked for Trinity and the whole point is to get people to sign up for something without doing any research. Putting solar panels on your roof is a big decision and their goal is to rush you into it at the benefit of their company, not the customer.

I'm definitely feeling the pressure. Food costs have doubled since last year, bills and other costs have gone up 15% to 50%, and my income hasn't kept pace.

Love Rhody's motto as well. Simple and appropriate for the history of these lands.

Trinity Solar has been in business for many years, and generally enjoy a good reputation. I'm not saying those scams don't exist - they definitely do! - but probably not from Trinity.

It's a power-leasing deal. Some company pays you (either in dollars, or by selling you electricity at a lower cost than your regular utility) to put solar panels on your roof. The company banks revenue by creating power and banking state renewable energy credits. You get a slightly lower electrical bill.
You'd come out ahead if you purchased a solar panel array and paid a loan on it (this is what I did a few years ago, AMA). But if you're not in a position to do that, this would probably be at least a small savings on your energy bill.
So even though you could come out ahead with an arrangement like this, it's not really considered a "good" investment, since you're basically taking a thank-you cut from somebody else who's actually making profit. The underlying truth is that the area of your roof is very valuable in terms of using it to generate power. Either YOU can realize that value, or you can get a minimal payment to let someone ELSE realize that value.

We'll allow it on the "good neighbor" policy.
Normally, we do want the post here to be specific to only Massachusetts, but the health and safety effects concerning this issue (currently, primarily in Ohio) may be far-reaching, especially for those who travel, and may indeed impact the ecosystem and general well-being, locally. But more importantly, Massachusetts has several railway yards, and only a few days ago, there was an incident locally in Massachusetts. https://www.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/114ag3l/fire_at_clean_harbors_by_the_quincy_shipyard_in/

They just visited my next door neighbor this week. They promised him free install. He asked me about it, since we got a large solar array installed last year and I did a ton of research. I've never heard of this company, but I can assure you it's bullshit. Probably stretching the truth to say the install is rolled into financing or a lease - your city government has no involvement.
Like others have said, if you're interested in solar buy the system outright. Contact many reputable companies for quotes and/or use Energy Sage to solicit bids.

Reply to Mass tax refund by KitchenBreadfruit816
Opinion:
It has been my experience, that there is no rushing the IRS, and it takes as long as it takes. I recall once filing early and receiving my refunds over two or three months later, while someone I knew filed late, and received their refund in a week or so. It really can sometimes seem like the luck of the draw, and it's why I do not ever suggest people "plan" things around their refund.
