You may have heard that the 30% federal solar tax credit for homeowners will no longer be available after December 31, 2025. That lower federal incentive has helped many households dramatically reduce the upfront cost of solar – but that doesn’t mean solar is no longer a smart choice.
Here’s why going solar still matters here in Massachusetts:
Long-term energy savings: Solar systems help you produce your own electricity, which means less money sent to the utility every month.
State incentives and local programs: Massachusetts still offers valuable benefits – including a state income tax credit, sales tax exemption, and property tax exemption on the added home value from solar. There are also programs like SMART that provide ongoing production-based payments and rewards for pairing batteries with your solar system.
Energy independence and resilience: Solar can make your home more resilient to rising energy costs and grid challenges. Adding a battery can keep lights on during outages and unlock additional incentives that didn’t exist before.
Community impact: When more of our neighbors choose clean energy, we reduce local pollution, strengthen our regional grid, and support a more sustainable future for everyone.
Don’t wait to explore your options
The federal tax credit deadline has made this year an important moment — but solar continues to be a smart, long-term investment for thousands of Massachusetts residents.
