Why Concord Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Concord's humid continental climate and energy landscape present excellent opportunities for solar adoption. With Eversource electricity rates among the highest in New England and increasing demand for backup power during winter storms and summer outages, homeowners and businesses across Merrimack County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems engineered for New England conditions.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
New Hampshire electricity rates continue climbing, with Eversource residential rates averaging 19-24 cents per kWh—among the highest in the nation. These costs compound during winter heating and summer cooling demand. Solar systems lock in energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as utility rates continue rising. Concord businesses face commercial rates averaging 16-21 cents per kWh plus demand charges, making solar increasingly attractive for cost reduction and energy independence.
⛈️
Weather Reliability & Grid Stability
Central New Hampshire experiences nor'easters with heavy snow and ice accumulation, winter storms causing extended power outages, severe thunderstorms and occasional hurricanes, and increasing grid strain during extreme weather. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for heating systems during winter storms, maintaining comfort and safety, and ensuring business continuity. Average Concord home experiences 2-4 power outages annually—battery systems maintain essential services while reducing grid reliance.
☀️
Strong Solar Resources
Concord receives 4.0-4.5 peak sun hours daily and approximately 200 sunny days annually—excellent solar resources for New England. New Hampshire's four-season climate provides consistent year-round production, with cold temperatures actually improving panel efficiency during winter months. Well-designed systems generate 1,150-1,350 kWh annually per installed kW, providing solid return on investment for Merrimack County installations with net metering allowing you to bank excess production credits throughout the year.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations. New Hampshire offers property tax exemption for renewable energy systems—ensuring your solar investment doesn't increase property assessments. Net metering with Eversource provides credits at retail rates (19-24 cents/kWh residential) for excess production, maximizing solar value. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation plus federal tax credits, recovering 75-85% of costs within six years through combined federal benefits.

Real results from homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Merrimack County and central New Hampshire.
"Switching to solar with PES in Concord saved us $1,000 in our first year, and their PowerLink installer made it seamless! Our Eversource bills were consistently over $240 monthly—among the highest we've seen anywhere. We installed a 7.2kW solar system and the battery backup kept our furnace and refrigerator running during a winter storm when power was out for 11 hours. The installation process was professional—permits, utility coordination, everything handled smoothly. We're seeing excellent production even on cloudy New England days."
Emily T.Concord Homeowner, 7.2kW System
"Thanks to PES's fast delivery of solar panels, we completed our Concord project ahead of schedule. Running a solar installation business in New Hampshire means dealing with tight seasonal construction windows and unpredictable weather. PES's 48-hour delivery commitment has been crucial—when I need panels, inverters, or battery systems, materials arrive quickly without me stocking excessive inventory. Their PowerLink pricing on bulk orders and knowledgeable support team has given me a real competitive edge in the Greater Concord market. They understand New England installations and building requirements."
David M.PowerLink Contractor, Concord
"Our office building was paying Eversource over $3,400 monthly—New Hampshire rates are brutal for commercial properties. PES helped design a 70kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by $2,100 monthly—that's $25,200 annually. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the financial case compelling with a 5.8-year payback. System has performed exceptionally well through cold New England winters and hot summers. We've eliminated demand charges during business hours and significantly improved our sustainability profile. Best investment we've made in our facility."

With New Hampshire's high electricity rates (19-24 cents/kWh), solar financing becomes even more attractive.
Excellent Year-Round Performance: Concord's humid continental climate with four distinct seasons provides consistent solar production throughout the year. While many people worry about New England winters and cloudy weather, modern solar panels perform exceptionally well in these conditions.
Climate Advantages:
200 sunny days annually provide solid solar resource for New England
4.0-4.5 peak sun hours daily—good production potential for northern latitude
Cold temperatures in fall, winter, and spring actually improve panel efficiency (panels produce 5-12% more in 30°F weather vs 85°F)
Strong production from April through October with long daylight hours
Modern panels capture energy even on cloudy days—they don't need direct sunshine
Snow slides off panels naturally at optimal tilt angles (30-40 degrees)
Seasonal Performance:
Summer (June-August): Peak production with long days and strong sunshine
Spring/Fall: Excellent production with cool temperatures and good sun angles—often the best production months
Winter: Lower but still meaningful production; panels shed snow naturally and cold temperatures boost efficiency
Annual Performance: Well-designed Concord systems generate 1,150-1,350 kWh per installed kW annually. Net metering with Eversource allows you to bank excess summer credits for winter use at full retail rates (19-24 cents/kWh)—effectively balancing seasonal variation and ensuring year-round value. Systems typically offset 70-85% of annual electricity consumption, providing substantial savings given New Hampshire's high electricity rates and excellent return on investment for central New Hampshire installations.
