Vermont utilities publish supply rates rather than a single all-in figure. Your bill divided by your kilowatt-hours is the number that matters, and it is usually well above the supply rate alone.

Full detail for each utility is on its own rate page, updated when the utility resets.
Why Vermont rates keep climbing
Every Vermont utility buys wholesale power through ISO New England. When capacity and energy prices rise there, they land across the state at roughly the same time rather than utility by utility. Demand from data centers is arriving faster than new generation is being built, and homeowners carry that gap on the delivery side of the bill.
That is the case for solar here: it fixes part of a cost that has otherwise moved in one direction. A power purchase agreement means no upfront payment — we install and own the system, you buy the power it produces at a set rate, and you keep buying whatever you still need from your utility.
Solar in Vermont after the federal credit
The federal residential purchase credit ended for systems bought after December 31, 2025. Anyone still advertising it is running an old ad. What remains in Vermont is net metering, and under a PPA the tax credit stays with the system owner rather than the homeowner — which is what makes $0 down possible.

Solar Incentives in Vermont
Vermont has strong net metering — led by Green Mountain Power — that credits homeowners for the solar power they send back to the grid, and the state's Renewable Energy Standard continues to support solar growth. Paired with $0-down financing, that makes solar a practical way to lock in lower, more predictable power against Vermont's high rates.
How Net Metering Works in Vermont
Net metering is what makes home solar pay off month to month: when your panels make more than you use, the surplus flows to the grid and you earn a bill credit; at night you pull power back and those credits offset it — for a lower, more predictable monthly energy cost.
In Vermont, net metering is offered through utilities like Green Mountain Power and other local utilities.
The federal residential solar tax credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025; incentive availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice.
