Take the First Step Towards Solar Savings

In the heart of New England, Massachusetts offers more than just rich history and beautiful landscapes—it also presents a prime opportunity to harness the power of the sun through solar energy. With its commitment to renewable energy and supportive policies, Massachusetts has become a beacon for homeowners looking to save money while reducing their carbon footprint.

Why Go Solar in Massachusetts?

  1. Financial Incentives: Massachusetts offers robust financial incentives to homeowners who install solar panels. These incentives include Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), which can be sold for extra income, and the Residential Renewable Energy Income Tax Credit, allowing you to deduct a portion of the installation costs from your state income taxes.
  2. Net Metering: The state’s net metering policy allows homeowners to receive credits on their utility bills for the excess electricity their solar panels generate and send back to the grid. This means you can effectively reduce or even eliminate your electricity bills.
  3. Environmental Impact: By generating clean, renewable energy from the sun, you can significantly reduce your household’s carbon footprint. This is a tangible way to contribute to a healthier environment for future generations.

Commercial Solar in 2023

Going Solar in 2023

We’ve never seen anything like it.  The Inflation Reduction Act has enacted Federal Tax Credits for Solar that increase previous amounts by 100% in some cases.

Many of our clients are enjoying 50% tax credits.  When combined with depreciation, those tax credits result in tax shields covering 75% of a system’s cost.

The Dept of the Treasury has released guidance on the tax credits and various adders that create the pathway to retaining these tax credits

Unprecedented Tax Breaks

The investment Tax Credit has been increased from 26% to 30%, and may now be transferred or sold to other taxpayers. The 30% applies to both business and residential projects, including projects installed in 2023, and will last until the end of 2032.

Energy storage projects were previously ineligible for tax credits unless they were connected directly to solar power projects. The Inflation Reduction Act removes these requirements and allows energy storage projects to receive the same 30% tax credit, even if they are stand-alone facilities. Batteries connected to a solar power project will continue to qualify for the credit, even if they are no longer being charged by solar power.

Interconnection costs will also be included in the tax credit, for projects smaller than 5 MWac.
