How New Hampshire works
Why the number is what it is
Eversource, Unitil and Liberty serve New Hampshire, with default service rates reset periodically under Public Utilities Commission oversight. New Hampshire is deregulated, so supply can be shopped.
New England residential rates average 25.91 cents against a national 18.44 cents — about 38% higher. The region relies heavily on imported natural gas and has limited pipeline capacity in winter.
The honest cost picture
Two ways to pay for solar
If you buy the system you own the equipment, keep any renewable credits, and carry maintenance. If you use a PPA it is $0 upfront — we install and own the system, you buy the power it produces, and you only pay for what it actually generates.
The residential federal tax credit (25D) ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025.
You will still see ads promising a 30% credit that “ends December 31.” Read the date on them. What remains applies to the owner of the system — which, under a PPA, is us. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice; talk to your tax professional.
