Why Westborough homeowners are going solar.
Westborough is a thriving community with a strong mix of residential neighborhoods and a significant commercial/technology corridor. Its location along I-495 makes it a hub for businesses and families alike.
Westborough's dual character, established residential neighborhoods alongside a robust commercial district, makes it an excellent market for both residential and commercial solar. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Olde Surrey, Willow Brook, and the areas surrounding Lake Chauncy enjoy large homes with significant roof space ideal for solar. On the commercial side, Westborough's office parks and industrial facilities along Computer Drive, Flanders Road, and Route 9 present outstanding opportunities for commercial solar installations. We've completed several commercial projects in Westborough, helping businesses reduce operating costs while demonstrating environmental leadership.
