How Solar Works

Photovoltaics (PV) systems make use of the sun’s energy by converting it to electricity that you use to power your home or business, and can produce some or all of your electric needs and more. Solar systems combine a series of components to convert the sun’s energy into electricity:

A Solar Array

Consists of a series of panels directed towards the sun to convert sunlight into Direct Current (DC).

Inverter

Converts the DC power produced by the panels into Alternating Current (AC) electricity.

Net Meter

Measures how much power your solar system is producing, and how much power your home or business is consuming.

Excess Power

The excess of power generated is sent into the grid and the meter runs in reverse generating electric bill credits to be used later.

Utility Grid

The grid acts as your battery providing power to your home at night, or when the sun is not shining.

Online Dashboard

Allows you to watch your system produce electricity. We use only the highest quality products to insure the best overall performance.

Solar Incentives for Massachusetts Homeowners and Businesses

Mass Save offers incentives available for qualifying battery storage systems. Apply for 0% financing through the HEAT Loan Program for battery storage and participate in the Connected Solutions battery incentive program.

State & Federal Tax Credit logo

If you purchase a solar system this tax credit is equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system. This amount is then deducted out of your federal taxes. We recommend consulting with a tax advisor to see how the federal tax credit will benefit you.

SMART Massachusetts Solar Program logo

The SMART program is a declining block program in which the incentive levels will decline by prescribed amounts over time. There are incentive amounts set-aside for small projects (≤ 25 kW AC). SMART also has adders available that increase the amount of the incentive if features such as Energy Storage, Community Solar, or various location-based installations are proposed.
