Solar is the solution
BigDog,
FYI, here is an excel using the following assumptions; decent sun on your maybe not so perfect southern roof plane (perfect is 194 degree with an 8/12 pitch). 17 cents per kWh because of your third party energy supplier cost is about a penny lower than Eversource, 9,360 annual kWh usage (12 x 780), PUC rebate incentive is still funded (it is right now), and you make a move before the end of 2019 (30% tax credit).
If the roof doesn't work, maybe a ground mount will?? I have a 32 module bifacial fixed gm installation in Meredith that we installed last December and on several days this past Spring it has produced over 70 kWh per day!
The bottom line is the payback period (roi), in just 7.66 years the money you will have saved on your utility bill expense will have bought the solar system asset that is now supplying your power and will continue to do so for the next 35-40 years.
Why rent your power when you can own it?
