Why Venture Home?
Why Mainers pick Venture over other solar companies
In-house crews design, install, and service every system we put on a roof, out of our Biddeford office. We handle the permits, the paperwork, and the incentives. And we answer the phone in year five, not just year one.
- Local, in-house crews. Designed, installed, and serviced by our own W2 team out of Biddeford. No subcontractors, so the work doesn’t change from one job to the next.
- 10+ years, still here. More than 200 solar companies have closed in the last two years. We’re not one of them, and we’ll be here when your warranty claim comes in.
- Service that picks up. A Maine-based service team, not a call center. If an inverter fails in year 12, you call us and we come out.
- Built for Maine. Engineered for Maine snow loads and winters, with the permits, paperwork, and CMP interconnection handled for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What solar incentives are available in Maine?
Maine homeowners can stack four. Net energy billing credits every kilowatt-hour you send back to CMP or Versant at full retail rate. The home value solar adds is exempt from property tax. Your system earns Renewable Energy Credits you can sell. And the 30% federal credit comes through a lease as lower monthly payments.
What is the average cost of a solar panel system in Maine?
The cost of a solar panel system varies depending on system size, equipment, and roof complexity. The average cost of solar panels in Maine is $19,980 for a six-kW system. Through a lease, the 30% federal credit flows through as lower monthly payments, and most homeowners start at $0 down with a monthly bill lower than what they pay the utility now. Contact Venture Home for a free quote tailored to your specific requirements and budget.
Do Maine’s long winters impact solar production?
Yes, but less than you’d expect. Daylight hours are shorter in winter, but panels run efficiently in cold, bright conditions and snow slides off angled roofs fast. Maine gets about 33% more usable sun than Germany, the world’s solar leader. We engineer every system for Maine snow loads and year-round production.
How much can I save on my energy bills with solar in Maine?
The average Maine homeowner saves about $53,434 over 25 years. Your number depends on usage, system size, and incentives, but with some of the highest power rates in the country, Maine homes tend to save more than most. Run the numbers for an estimate built on your actual bill.
Can I still get the federal solar tax credit in Maine?
Yes, through a lease. The credit ended in 2026 for systems you buy with cash or a loan. With a Venture lease, our financing partner claims the credit and passes it to you as lower monthly payments. We’ll show you lease versus buy so you can see which fits your home.
