Boston Solar is the exclusive solar installer for the Solarize Mass Plus Needham Program!<\/h3>\n
Why should you install solar on your Needham home?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Needham residents can save up to 100% of their utility bill (excluding the utilities standard service charge), depending on monthly energy usage and amount spent. Electricity prices typically fluctuate seasonally and have increased on average by 3% nationally over the last 10 years. By owning a solar system, you produce your own power and are less exposed to the volatility and future electricity cost increases.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, Solar is a renewable energy technology and helps the environment and helps you “go green.”<\/p>\n
Available solar incentives:<\/strong><\/p>\n
In late 2017, the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (MA DOER) developed Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) to double its solar capacity to over three gigawatts (GW). SMART has replaced the previous solar incentive program in Massachusetts, Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs). SMART provides a monthly payment to homeowners for the energy you produce. You also qualify for a federal tax credit and will receive up to $1,000 state tax credit.<\/p>\n

How long will it take to install my system?<\/strong><\/p>\n
