Let’s make solar bigger in Massachusetts

Solar Power in Massachusetts

Massachusetts has some of the highest electricity rates in the entire country — which is exactly why it's one of the best states in America to go solar.

Because Massachusetts households pay so much per kilowatt-hour, every unit of power your roof produces delivers outsized savings compared to lower-rate states.

The state's SMART program (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) is among the most generous incentive structures in the nation, providing per-kilowatt-hour payments to homeowners who go solar.

Massachusetts has also historically offered a state income tax credit for residential solar, and the state exempts solar from added sales and property tax.

Net metering credits your excess production, and with high rates those credits are worth more here than almost anywhere else.

From Boston and Worcester to Springfield, Cambridge, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts homeowners consistently see strong returns from solar — and battery storage keeps the lights on during the region's nor'easters.

Homeowners who purchase their system could historically receive a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the cost — though the federal residential credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025, so current availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law.
