The state still has real incentives on the books, and a lease keeps the federal value in play. The math works here in 2026.
The state Residential Energy Credit covers 15% of your install, up to $1,000.
Solar and battery equipment is exempt from the 6.25% Massachusetts sales tax.

Traditional solar only makes power. Our systems help you use it better, managing your energy automatically to protect your home, give you more control, and save you money.

Massachusetts Solar Incentives
The federal credit ended for systems you buy outright. Massachusetts still has real incentives on the books, and a lease keeps the 30% federal value in play. Our financing partner claims it and passes it through as a lower payment.

Why Venture Home?
One in-house team handles your design, your permits, your install, and the service call in year five. No subcontractors. No call center. We answer the phone when the warranty matters, not just when the sale does.

Massachusetts has one of the strongest incentive stacks in the country. You can earn SMART payments for the power your system produces, get net metering credits for what you send back to the grid, claim a 15% state tax credit up to $1,000 on a system you own, and skip both the sales tax on equipment and 20 years of added property tax. Add a battery and you can earn ConnectedSolutions payments on top of all of it.
SMART pays you a fixed rate for every kilowatt-hour your system produces, separate from your net metering bill credits, so you benefit from both at once. Under the current SMART 3.0 program, residential systems lock in that rate for a 20-year term. It’s available through the three big utilities, Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil, and adding battery storage increases the rate. We handle the application for you.
While Massachusetts experiences all four seasons, including snowy winters, solar panels can still generate significant electricity throughout the year. Modern solar panels perform well even in less intense sunlight, and snow typically melts or slides off angled roofs. Venture Home designs systems optimized for Massachusetts weather conditions to maximize your energy production.
For a system you buy with cash or a loan, the 30% federal credit ended on December 31, 2025, so it no longer applies. If you lease your system instead, our financing claims the commercial version of the credit and passes that value back to you as lower monthly payments. So depending on how you pay, the federal benefit can still reach you. We’ll walk you through all options.
The cost of a solar panel system in Massachusetts varies depending on factors like system size, the type of equipment chosen (panels, inverters, etc.), and roof complexity. The average cost of a 6-Kw solar panel system in Massachusetts is $12,166. The federal tax credit and state tax credit help reduce this overall cost.

We’ve installed 15,000 whole-home systems with our own in-house W-2 crews, no subcontractors, and we service every system we install. A lot of solar companies sell the install and disappear.
