Keep in mind that if you're near the northern part of the state (Burlington) you are a quick drive to Montreal. I love NYC, but Montreal being so close is a huge bonus.

We're in Waterbury and prefer to drive to Montreal over Boston to see bands - easy drive and everything is cheaper...plus Montreal is just all around great.

BTV will get you where you need to go fairly easily (unless it's heavy international) - Logan is the worst in every way

I did this in conjunction with the installation of solar and worked with SunCommon - GMP purchased one of my powerwalls in exchange for the ability to tap into it several times a month. Being the first year it looks like it will cover about 80% of my energy (heat, AC (heat pumps), electric, hot water) needs. Love it
