" I
LOVE my solar hot water system! I get to turn my oil boiler off from May through November and all my domestic hot water comes from the sun during those months. With all the great incentives, including one if you have PV, it makes all the sense in the world. I also like that in the winter it pre-heats the water going into the boiler." - Megan, Hatchville

Homeowners are eligible for a base rebate amount of $4,500 or 40% of the installed cost (whichever is less) and may also be eligible to receive additional adders which increase the amount of the rebate. For example, if you already have a solar electric system on your home or business you qualify for the Solar Photovoltaic Co-location Adder. This applies to any system whether owned or leased. Federal and state tax credits are available, as well as incentives from the Cape Light Compact (for those who heat their water with electricity).
