Randy Harrison stands outside his farmhouse in Lincoln, Massachusetts, reflecting on a four-year journey that has finally led to solar panels on his roof. Now that his installation is complete, he’s most excited for one simple, symbolic moment: flipping the switch. “The thing I’m looking forward to most once the system is installed is flipping the switch,” Randy said.
Karen and Jeffrey Walker’s solar journey began more than a decade ago, when Karen—motivated by concern for the environment and a curiosity about sustainable solutions—scheduled a Mass Save energy audit of their Lexington, Massachusetts home. "We've got three kids and grandkids, and we're thinking about this planet," Karen said. "Energy consumption in New England has traditionally been dirty, but solar is beautiful.” The energy audit looked promising at first.
Sue Marren’s solar journey began long before her solar panels were installed. Having worked at an economic consulting firm with an extensive energy practice, she had been surrounded by experts working on renewables and energy economics for years. "I had a lot of exposure to it and knew that it made sense to do both economically, but also environmentally," Sue explained. The catalyst came when her old gas heating system finally needed replacing.
