Solar Panels in West Boylston, MA

West Boylston, Massachusetts residents are served by West Boylston Municipal Light Plant, which charges $0.15 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 11% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,620 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in West Boylston can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,440 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $52,501 in total savings. With Massachusetts state incentives of $320, the net system cost drops to $25,840, resulting in a payback period of just 17.9 years.

As a municipal utility, West Boylston Municipal Light Plant sets its own rates and rebate programs independently, separate from Mass Save and ConnectedSolutions. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from West Boylston Municipal Light Plant. Heat pump rebates of up to $1,000 are also available for West Boylston homeowners.

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