Your Solar Options
There are several routes to access the benefits of solar!
Reduce your energy bills, minimize your reliance on fossil fuels, and increase your independence from your utility.
EnergySage
We've teamed up with EnergySage to simplify your journey to clean energy and help you get better informed about all of your solar options – from rooftop panels to community solar subscriptions.
With EnergySage’s easy-to-use online platform, you can:
- Compare up to seven competitive solar quotes side-by-side
- Choose from an extensive list of pre-vetted installers
- Get unbiased guidance from solar advisors
Unlike common solar solicitors who might show up at your door or pressure you with unsolicited calls, EnergySage operates differently. Your details remain confidential until you decide which specific installers you're interested in and choose to share your information with them. This unique approach allows you to explore your solar possibilities at your own pace and with peace of mind.
Solar Bank
In need of financial assistance regarding your electric bill? The Solar Bank program aims to support low- and moderate-income households in Massachusetts by providing approximately $500 worth of credits to the recipient’s electric bill over the course of several months. Participating in this program is both at no cost to the recipient and does not require the installation of solar panels on one’s property, and it is open to Eversource customers on the R2 rate.
Community Solar
Not interested in installing or unable to install solar on your property and are ineligible for the Solar Bank program but would like to receive the benefits of solar energy? Join a community solar program! Community solar lets people benefit from solar power without installing panels on their own roofs. The solar panels are placed somewhere in the community, and you subscribe to a share of that system. It is a more flexible, lower-barrier way to participate in solar without full ownership or installation.
Incentives & Rebates
Check out our page where we detail both federal and state (Massachusetts and Rhode Island) incentives available for those interested in owning solar clean energy projects.
