Solar Panels in Kennebunk, ME

Kennebunk, Maine residents are served by Kennebunk Light & Power District, which charges $0.12 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 31% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,257 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Kennebunk can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,117 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $40,741 in total savings. The estimated payback period is 21.9 years.

As a municipal utility, Kennebunk Light & Power District sets its own rates and rebate programs independently. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Kennebunk Light & Power District. Heat pump rebates of up to $2,400 are also available for Kennebunk homeowners.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025, making state and utility incentives more important than ever.
