Get a Free QuoteThe federal tax credit is gone for homeowners — but income-eligible Massachusetts households have more programs available than anyone else. SMART LMI rates, Mass Save weatherization, enhanced heat pump rebates, ConnectedSolutions, and Section 48 lease/PPA access can stack to reduce your net solar cost by 40–60%. Use this calculator to see your total.
With the 25D credit gone, standard solar buyers lost 30% of their savings. But income-eligible households still have SMART LMI ($0.11/kWh vs $0.03), free weatherization, and enhanced rebates — making post-ITC solar economics better than pre-ITC for qualifying families.
These programs are independent — you can qualify for multiple simultaneously. The calculator below shows your specific stack based on household income.
$0.11/kWh (20 years)
Double the standard SMART rate plus the $0.05 LMI adder. For a 10 kW system: ~$1,320/yr vs $360/yr standard.
Up to $25,000 (free)
Free insulation, air sealing, and energy assessment. Reduces energy use before adding solar.
Up to $16,000
Income-eligible: up to $16K for whole-home heat pump conversion. Standard households get up to $10K.
$225–$275/kW/yr
Eversource $275/kW, National Grid $225/kW. Summer demand response payments for battery owners.
30% ITC via system owner
Third-party system owner claims 30% ITC, passed as lower payments. Deadline: July 4, 2026.
$2K–$8K+ saved
6.25% sales tax exempt + 20-year property tax exemption on solar value added to home.
