MA SOLAR INCENTIVES
Massachusetts is one of the best states in the country for solar incentives. Here is every program available to you as a homeowner in Agawam, Feeding Hills, Southwick, Westfield, and surrounding towns.
Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
The federal government pays 30% of your total solar installation cost as a tax credit. On a $20,000 system, that is $6,000 back in your pocket. This applies to both MA and CT homeowners.
MA SMART Program
Massachusetts pays you every month for the solar energy your panels produce. The SMART program pays you a set rate per kilowatt-hour for 10 years. Your panels earn money while you use them.
MA Solar Tax Credit
Massachusetts offers an additional state income tax credit of up to $1,000 for residential solar installations. Stack this on top of the federal credit for maximum savings.
MA Net Metering
When your panels produce more electricity than you use, the extra goes back to the grid and your utility company gives you bill credits. Your meter runs backward.
MA Property Tax Exemption
In Massachusetts, solar panels increase your home's value but your property taxes do not go up. You get the value increase without the tax increase.
MA Sales Tax Exemption
Solar equipment is exempt from Massachusetts sales tax. On a $20,000 system, that saves you $1,250 right away.
CT SOLAR INCENTIVES
Connecticut homeowners in Enfield, Suffield, Windsor Locks, Simsbury, and surrounding towns have access to their own set of solar incentives. Here is what you qualify for.
Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
Same as Massachusetts. The federal government pays 30% of your total solar installation cost as a tax credit. Available to all CT homeowners.
CT Residential Solar Investment Program
Connecticut offers rebates for residential solar installations through Eversource and United Illuminating. Rebate amounts vary based on system size and utility.
CT Net Metering
Connecticut utilities credit you for excess solar energy your system sends back to the grid. Your electric bill is reduced by the value of energy you produce.
CT Property Tax Exemption
Connecticut exempts solar installations from property tax increases. Your home value goes up but your tax bill stays the same.
CT Sales Tax Exemption
Solar equipment is exempt from Connecticut sales tax. On a $20,000 system, that saves you $1,270.
BUNDLE WITH A SOLAR-POWERED SKYLIGHT
When you go solar, consider adding a solar-powered Velux skylight. It runs entirely on the sun, opens and closes automatically, and closes itself if it senses rain. No electrician needed. No wiring. Just beautiful natural light that is completely free to operate. Ask us about bundling a solar skylight with your solar installation.
