Solar Energy in Massachusetts: What Homeowners Need to Know

Massachusetts has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, with homeowners served by utilities like National Grid, Eversource, and Unitil paying well above the national average. Rates have climbed steadily over the past several years, and projections show no signs of slowing down. For many families, monthly electric bills of $200-$400+ have become the norm.

That is where roof + solar makes a real difference. By bundling a new roof with solar panel installation, Massachusetts homeowners can lock in lower energy costs for 25+ years while protecting their home from harsh New England weather. Nor'easters, ice storms, and heavy snowfall can knock out power for days — adding optional battery backup means your lights, heat, and refrigerator keep running even when the grid goes down.

Massachusetts offers several solar programs, including the SMART 3.0 program, net metering credits, and a state solar tax credit. Eligible SMART 3.0 projects use a 20-year utility tariff term, and eligible residential renewable-energy expenses may qualify for a 15% state income tax credit up to the program's $1,000 limit. Ask about current eligibility and Sol NE's cash, loan, lease, and PPA options.
