Massachusetts receives about 4.1 peak sun hours per day. Like Maine and Rhode Island, Massachusetts has high electricity rates (often above $0.25/kWh) which means each kWh of solar production saves more money than in lower-rate states.
Massachusetts has the SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) program, which provides 10-year payments for solar production above and beyond electricity savings. Combined with state income tax credit (15% up to $1,000), net metering, sales tax exemption, property tax exemption for solar value, and available solar incentives — Massachusetts is among the top 3 states for residential solar ROI in the country.
Most sites won’t show you a number. Here is what each Massachusetts utility charges all-in — supply plus delivery plus riders, not the supply rate on its own. That is the figure solar has to beat.
| Utility | All-in rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Eversource | ~30¢ | Among the highest all-in rates in the country |
| National Grid | ~30¢ | Statewide average is roughly 67% above the national average |
| Unitil | ~30¢ | Smaller service territory |
Massachusetts stacks net metering with the SMART tariff, a per-kilowatt-hour production incentive paid over ten years. Eversource, National Grid and Cape Light Compact also run ConnectedSolutions, which pays homeowners for making a home battery available during peak demand events.
Rates as published August 2026, drawn from Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities filings, utility tariffs, ISO New England market data and U.S. Energy Information Administration figures. Utilities reset on their own schedules — check your own bill for the rate on your account.
Net metering rules, interconnection requirements, and rebate availability vary by utility. Our installer network in Massachusetts works with all major providers:
The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit under Section 25D ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025. If you buy a system with cash or a loan in 2026, you cannot claim it. Any site still advertising a 30% federal credit for a homeowner purchase is running outdated information.
What remains is Section 48E, the commercial investment credit. It applies to third-party-owned systems — leases and power purchase agreements — where the system owner claims it rather than the homeowner. That is precisely what makes $0-down possible.

Massachusetts homes range from coastal to historic to suburban. Older homes in Boston, Cambridge, and the surrounding metro often need roof inspection or replacement before solar installation. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-25 years in the Massachusetts climate.

For most homeowners in Massachusetts, going solar locks in lower, more predictable power and helps offset rising Massachusetts utility rates. Actual savings depend on your roof, energy usage, and utility — a free, no-obligation estimate shows your specific numbers.
Massachusetts offers net metering, and may offer state incentives or tax exemptions for going solar. Programs and eligibility vary by utility and change over time — consult a licensed tax professional.
