Massachusetts relaunched its state solar incentive in 2025 as SMART 3.0, with a simple flat rate for home systems. Here is what to know before you plan.
UTILITIES
Massachusetts Electric Utilities
Eversource and National Grid serve most Massachusetts homes, and Unitil serves a smaller area. Many towns have municipal light plants with their own solar rules.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
Small home systems with Eversource, National Grid and Unitil can use net metering to earn bill credits for extra power. Municipal light plants set their own terms. Ask us how it works for your address.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
A battery can keep essentials running in an outage and let you use more of your own solar power in the evening.
