Why Brockton Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Brockton's energy landscape presents exceptional opportunities for solar adoption. Massachusetts has among the highest electricity rates in the nation, and with nor'easters, coastal storms, and aging grid infrastructure causing frequent power disruptions across Plymouth County, homeowners and businesses throughout the South Shore are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage—backed by the strongest state solar incentives in the country.
💰
Highest Energy Costs in the Nation
Massachusetts electricity rates are among the most expensive in the United States, with Eversource residential rates in the Brockton area averaging 26–32 cents per kWh—more than double the national average. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing dramatic savings that compound as utility rates continue their steep upward climb of 4–6% annually. Brockton businesses face commercial rates averaging 20–26 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges, making solar particularly compelling for commercial operations throughout Plymouth County and the South Shore corridor.
⛈️
Nor'easters & Grid Reliability
Southeastern Massachusetts faces powerful nor'easters, winter ice storms, heavy wet snow, hurricane-season tropical systems, and severe summer thunderstorms that regularly bring down power lines and disrupt the grid across Plymouth County. The average Brockton home experiences 3–6 power outages annually lasting 4–24+ hours each—with major nor'easters sometimes causing multi-day blackouts. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for heating during dangerous winter storms, sump pumps during coastal flooding events, air conditioning during summer heat waves, refrigeration, medical equipment, and business continuity throughout New England's volatile four-season weather.
☀️
Strong Solar Resources
Brockton receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily and approximately 200 sunny days annually—excellent solar resources for the New England region that consistently outperform expectations. Massachusetts' coastal climate provides moderate temperatures that enhance panel efficiency compared to hotter southern states where extreme heat reduces output. Well-designed systems generate 1,150–1,350 kWh annually per installed kW, delivering outstanding return on investment especially when combined with Massachusetts' industry-leading SMART incentive program and the nation's highest electricity rates driving rapid payback periods.
📋
Nation-Leading Incentives
Massachusetts offers the strongest solar incentive stack in the country. The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032, and the Massachusetts SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) program provides performance-based incentive payments for every kWh your system produces for 10 years. Additional benefits include the Massachusetts $1,000 state income tax credit, property tax exemption for 20 years, sales tax exemption on solar equipment, net metering at retail rates with Eversource, and accelerated MACRS depreciation for commercial systems—making Brockton one of the strongest solar investment markets in the entire nation.

"Switching to solar with PES in Brockton saved us over $2,400 in our first year alone—Massachusetts' high electricity rates mean the savings are incredible. Our 8.5kW system now covers nearly all of our electricity usage, and the SMART incentive payments add extra income every quarter. The Tesla Powerwall kept our heat and essentials running during last winter's nor'easter when power was out for 16 hours across our neighborhood. The PowerLink installer they recommended was professional and handled all the permits and Eversource coordination seamlessly. Best investment we've made for our home."
Emily T.Brockton Homeowner
"As a solar contractor serving the South Shore, PES's fast delivery has been a game-changer for my business. When I need panels or inverters for installations across Plymouth County, materials arrive within 48 hours without me maintaining massive inventory. Their PowerLink bulk pricing and responsive support team have given me a real competitive advantage in Massachusetts' booming solar market. Plus, they understand the nor'easter wind load ratings and coastal corrosion requirements we deal with here in southeastern Massachusetts."
David M.Local Solar Contractor, Brockton
"Our commercial facility in Brockton was paying $6,200 monthly to Eversource with crushing demand charges. PES designed a 95kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by $3,800 monthly—over 61% reduction. The federal tax credit, MACRS depreciation, and Massachusetts SMART payments made the financial case extraordinary. System is on track to pay for itself in just 4.8 years, and we've essentially eliminated demand charges during business hours. With Massachusetts' rates, every business here should be going solar."
Thomson B.Business Owner, Brockton

We work with installers who offer a variety of financing plans to make solar accessible for Brockton homeowners and businesses:
Residential Financing Options:
Cash purchase with 30% federal tax credit plus Massachusetts $1,000 state credit—best total return on investment
Solar loans (secured and unsecured) with terms from 5-25 years, typical rates 4.99-7.99% APR
Home equity loans or HELOCs leveraging your property value—often lowest interest rates
Mass Solar Loan program—income-based interest rate buydowns and loan support for Massachusetts residents

Massachusetts clean energy financing programs and economic development initiatives
Many Brockton homeowners find that monthly solar loan payments are significantly less than their previous Eversource electricity bills—often saving $100-200+ per month from day one while building home equity. Massachusetts' exceptionally high electricity rates (26-32 cents/kWh) combined with SMART incentive payments make solar one of the strongest personal investments available. Commercial installations typically achieve positive cash flow within the first year when combining federal tax benefits, Massachusetts state incentives, and dramatic utility cost reductions.
Brockton receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily on average and approximately 200 sunny days annually—strong solar resources that consistently exceed expectations for New England. While Massachusetts has cold winters, modern solar panels actually operate more efficiently in cool temperatures, and the state's long summer days produce abundant energy output from May through September.
Brockton Solar Performance Factors:
Annual production: Well-designed systems generate 1,150-1,350 kWh per installed kW
Seasonal variation: Strong production from April through October with peak summer output; net metering banking credits bridge the shorter winter months
Temperature advantage: Cool New England temperatures increase panel efficiency 8-12% compared to hot southern climates—panels perform best in bright, cool conditions
Snow performance: Panels installed at optimal 35-40 degree tilt naturally shed snow quickly; New England's wet snow slides off more easily than dry powder
Cloud performance: Modern panels generate 10-25% of rated capacity even on overcast days
Net metering benefit: Excess summer production credited at Eversource retail rates (26-32 cents/kWh)—among the highest net metering rates in the nation, making each exported kWh extremely valuable
Real Brockton System Performance:
A typical 8.5kW residential system in Brockton produces approximately 9,800-11,500 kWh annually—enough to offset 70-90% of average household consumption. With Massachusetts' sky-high electricity rates, every kWh produced saves 26-32 cents—roughly double the value of solar production in most other states. This rate advantage, combined with SMART incentive payments and ConnectedSolutions battery revenue, gives Massachusetts solar installations among the fastest payback periods and highest lifetime returns in the entire country, making solar in Brockton an exceptional financial investment.
