The Future is Bright: Massachusetts Relaxes Net Metering Cap for Solar Projects

The future of renewable energy in Massachusetts is looking brighter than ever! Last year Governor Baker signed H5060, An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind, into law. This landmark legislation, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the state’s dependence on fossil fuels, includes a key provision to relax the net metering cap for residential solar projects up to 25 kilowatts. This is a major step forward for renewable energy initiatives in the state, and with this new policy, Massachusetts will be able to take advantage of the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy.

 

The new law is an important milestone in Massachusetts’ commitment to clean energy, and we’re excited to see what the future holds. Contact us to learn more and to get a free solar quote for your home or business! 

Photovoltaic solar systems

More people are deciding to go solar every year. Going solar will reduce or eliminate your electric bill, earn a good return for your investment, increase your property value, protect against rising energy costs, and protect the environment by cutting your consumption of non-renewable energy.

Solar power converts energy from sunlight using either photovoltaics (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), or a combination. PV systems have cells that convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. They are the most widely used and well-known systems. PV systems are easy for residents to use on their properties. They can be mounted on the roof or as a ground mount. You can install a PV system that is either fixed in place or that uses a solar tracker to follow the sun across the sky.

Second Generation Energy installs and designs commercial and residential PV systems.  We believe that renewable energy combined with conservation measures will have the greatest impact on solving our energy problems. Looking to go solar? Give us a call, email, or stop by for a visit today!
