Hurricane Irene, the first major storm to really hit Connecticut in 26 years, was an eye opener for many who have not had experience with events such as the 1938 hurricane, ‘55 flood or ‘73 ice storm. Perhaps the most significant figure is the peak number of in-state electrical outages that, at 830,130, is an all-time record in spite of our paying the highest rates in the nation and having spent billions on new infrastructure in recent years.
Is there a better way? I think so.

At HeatSpring, we’re all about the solar contractors on the ground.
Lately there’s been a lot of debate about solar modules. Which ones are bankable? The most efficient? The best price? We’ve also been reiceving a number of questions from our alumni and readers about modules. While, I could spend plenty of time research modules and using my own experience to create some conclusions, it wouldn’t be very useful. WE WANT to hear from you, the installer and NESEA community, about the solar modules that you most prefer and why. No distributors or manufactueres will be allowed to vote and will make sure of this by requiring a name and valid email address and company name.
After the voting has concluded in one month, we will compile all the data and make it public for you the installers to see and use.
A great way to make renewable energy more competitive, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and help restore our economy to some rationality and health.
All these inter-related issues are too important for the typical corrupt political horse trading between politicians and lobbyists we have come to expect from Washington.
Longtime NESEA member Alteris Renewables partners with SunRun to install SunRun’s residential “Solar as a Service” in MA. This game-changing service enables homeowners to go solar for as little as $1000 down and to reduce electricity bills. The landmark program achieved great coverage in the Sunday Boston Globe, “Sun for Rent” – the paper’s most emailed article for the day.
