Why go solar in Maine


Maine has a growing solar market with ~486MW of total installed capacity already under their belt! Legislation passed in 2019 requires 80% of electricity to be produced from renewable sources by 2030. They have also set a goal to produce 100% by 2050. Maine utilities also offer net energy metering providing credits for monthly net excess generation. This means that solar customers in Maine can get paid for the energy they produce! Going solar in ME is a great choice for anyone looking to save money on energy. Not only does ME legislation encourage it, but there are incentives available right now to help you make the decision. Solar can also keep you running in case power outages happen and it helps you maintain predictable payments.

Solar incentives in Maine**

Depending on your utility company, you may be eligible for solar incentives and programs.

Maine homeowners are eligible for Net Metering (NEM). NEM allows you to earn credits on your utility bill for excess power generated. Credits are earned for excess power that are reflected on your monthly utility bill and roll over month to month.

Solar panels perform in all kinds of weather

Going solar is a big decision, and although there are many factors you should consider, local weather shouldn’t be a deterrent. Solar panels are designed to work in almost any type of weather… even snow and clouds!
