Utility #01

SMART Program Production Incentive

The Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program pays residential solar owners a fixed per-kWh incentive for a defined term (typically 10 years), with optional adders for paired battery storage. Block availability and rates decline over time - confirm the current block when applying.

Tax credit #02

Massachusetts Residential Solar Tax Credit

State personal income tax credit equal to 15% of the net solar system cost, capped at $1,000, claimable in the year the system is placed in service (with limited carryforward).

Net metering · Massachusetts

Net metering with SMART adder

Massachusetts offers net metering for residential systems, crediting exported solar at or near the retail/basic-service rate, and layers the SMART production incentive on top. The combination of high retail rates, net metering, and SMART payments produces strong overall economics.

Worth checking before you sign: taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules differ by utility. Your matched installer confirms the exact numbers for your address.

"We had difficulty with our monitoring site ans called for help. Ken not only got us back on the site, but introduced us to some new features. He spent a great deal of time with us and was patient and gave clear instructions as he walked us through the process. Very satisfied with support."
