Massachusetts Solar Incentives are available for nearly every solar hot water and solar electric (PV) system sold to home and business owners in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island solar incentives are intended to help you offset the initial investment in the solar heating solutions or solar electric solutions of your choice.
Take a look at the Massachusetts Solar Incentives below:

National Grid Solar Water Heating Rebate:
National Grid provides incentives for both non-residential and residential solar water heating systems to its gas customers.
Non-Residential Systems (e.g. Commercial and Industrial)
The National Grid solar water heating rebate is set at $3.00 per therm, based on the system’s projected first year output. A therm is equal to 100,000 British thermal units, and there are 10 therms in an MMBTU (million British thermal units). Please contact National Grid at 1-800-843-3636 to apply for the solar water heating rebate. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
It is also possible for programs to pursue funding from National Grid under the Economic Redevelopment Program, under which projects are eligible for an incentive of $8/therm, based on the system’s first year output. Unlike the standard rebate, projects must apply for the Economic Redevelopment Program. For more information about the Program, please contact National Grid at 1-800-843-3636
Residential Systems
Residential customers may be eligible for a rebate of 15% of the solar thermal project cost, with a maximum rebate of $1,500. The installer must include a minimum 2 year installation warranty, along with additional manufacture requirements. For more information about the Program, please contact Brian Kearney 781-907-1599.
