Incentives are where solar companies exaggerate most, so here is our standard: we only describe programs that exist right now, we tell you the federal credit ended, and we verify your exact eligibility before you sign anything.
The federal residential solar tax credit ended for systems placed in service after 2025. Any company still leading its 2026 pitch with a 30 percent federal credit is selling the past, and that should tell you something about the rest of its pitch.
The good news: the New England solar math never rested on the federal credit alone. Electricity here is among the most expensive in the country, and the state-level programs below are alive and doing the heavy lifting.
Each state runs its own programs with its own rules. We keep these guides current and verify your address-level eligibility during your free assessment.
Net metering, the Renewable Energy Growth tariff, the Renewable Energy Fund grant, and the state tax exemptions.

Learn MoreProgram value flows differently depending on how you pay. Own the system (loan or cash) and tariff payments and exemptions work for you directly. Choose a PPA or lease and the provider’s ownership is part of why your rate can sit below the utility’s. Neither is automatically better; it depends on your household, which is exactly what our financing guide walks through.
One rule never changes: we put the real numbers for your home in writing before you commit, with current program terms, not last year’s brochure.
