Solar Panels in Lunenburg, MA

Lunenburg, Massachusetts residents are served by Unitil, which charges $0.28 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 69% above the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $3,060 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Lunenburg can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $2,720 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $99,158 in total savings. With Massachusetts state incentives of $1,000, the net system cost drops to $23,720, resulting in a payback period of just 8.7 years.

Unitil is an investor-owned utility serving Lunenburg and surrounding communities. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Unitil. Heat pump rebates of up to $8,500 are also available for Lunenburg homeowners.

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