Solar Panels in Ashland, NH

Ashland, New Hampshire residents are served by Ashland Electric Department, which charges $0.16 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 3% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,753 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Ashland can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,558 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $56,806 in total savings. The estimated payback period is 16 years.

As a municipal utility, Ashland Electric Department sets its own rates and rebate programs independently. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Ashland Electric Department.

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