Why Merrimack Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Merrimack's energy landscape presents compelling opportunities for solar adoption. With Eversource electricity rates among the highest in the nation and New England's harsh winters and nor'easters requiring reliable backup power, homeowners and businesses across Hillsborough County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.
💰
Some of the Highest Energy Costs in the U.S.
New Hampshire electricity rates are among the most expensive in the country, with Eversource residential rates averaging 24–28 cents per kWh—nearly double the national average. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing dramatic savings that compound as utility rates continue climbing. Merrimack businesses face commercial rates averaging 18–22 cents per kWh plus substantial demand charges, making solar one of the smartest financial decisions available in the Granite State.
🌨️
Nor'easters & Winter Grid Vulnerability
Southern New Hampshire experiences powerful nor'easters, heavy snowstorms, ice storms, and severe summer thunderstorms that regularly disrupt power across Hillsborough County. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for home heating, sump pumps, medical equipment, and business continuity. The average Merrimack home experiences 3–6 power outages annually lasting 4–12+ hours each—battery systems bridge these gaps seamlessly while New England storms persist, keeping families warm and businesses running.
☀️
Strong New England Solar Resources
Merrimack receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily and approximately 194 sunny days annually—strong solar resources that perform better than many expect for New England. Cold winter temperatures actually boost panel efficiency compared to hotter climates, resulting in excellent year-round performance. Well-designed systems generate 1,100–1,300 kWh annually per installed kW, providing outstanding return on investment given New Hampshire's premium electricity rates.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations. New Hampshire offers the Residential Solar Rebate Program through the NH PUC, providing up to $1,000 per kW (capped at $10,000) for qualifying systems. No state sales tax on any purchases in New Hampshire, and property tax exemptions ensure your solar investment doesn't increase property taxes. Net metering with Eversource ensures you receive credit for excess solar production. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation, recovering 85% of costs within six years.
Energy Solutions Tailored to Merrimack's Needs
Whether you're a homeowner looking to slash some of the nation's highest utility bills, a contractor serving Southern New Hampshire, or a business seeking to cut operational costs, PES delivers the products, expertise, and logistics support to ensure project success in New England's four-season climate and premium energy market.

"Switching to solar with PES in Merrimack saved us over $1,000 in our first year alone. With Eversource rates as high as they are, the savings were immediate. Our 7kW system now covers most of our electricity usage, and the Tesla Powerwall kept our heat and essentials running during last January's nor'easter when power was out for 16 hours. 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.Merrimack Homeowner
"As a solar contractor serving Southern New Hampshire, PES's fast delivery has been a game-changer for my business. When I need panels or inverters for installations across Hillsborough 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 New Hampshire's booming solar market. Plus, they understand the heavy snow load requirements and nor'easter wind ratings we deal with here."
David M.Local Solar Contractor, Merrimack
"Our tech office in Merrimack was paying $3,600 monthly to Eversource with crushing demand charges. PES designed a 65kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by $2,100 monthly—over 55% reduction. With New Hampshire's sky-high rates, the financial case was overwhelming. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation meant the system paid for itself in just 5.2 years. Highly recommend for any Southern NH business looking to control energy costs."

We work with installers who offer a variety of financing plans to make solar accessible for Merrimack homeowners and businesses:
Residential Financing Options:
Cash purchase with 30% federal tax credit plus NH solar rebate—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

Equipment financing leveraging federal ITC and MACRS depreciation
NH economic development programs for business growth and job creation
Many Merrimack homeowners find that monthly solar loan payments are significantly less than their previous Eversource electricity bills—given New Hampshire's premium rates averaging 24–28 cents/kWh, solar provides immediate positive cash flow while building home equity. Commercial installations typically achieve positive cash flow within the first year when combining federal tax benefits with utility cost reductions, with some of the fastest payback periods in the nation.
Merrimack receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily on average and approximately 194 sunny days annually—strong solar resources that perform better than many people expect for New England. Cold winter temperatures actually boost solar panel efficiency significantly compared to hotter climates where extreme heat reduces performance, and modern panels are engineered to perform well in all weather conditions.
Merrimack Solar Performance Factors:
Annual production: Well-designed systems generate 1,100–1,300 kWh per installed kW
Seasonal variation: Summer production (May–September) significantly exceeds winter, but net metering banking credits at premium Eversource rates bridge the gap effectively
Cold temperature advantage: Sub-freezing temperatures increase panel efficiency 10–15% compared to hot southern climates—panels perform at peak during crisp, clear New England winter days
Snow management: Panels installed at optimal 35–42 degree tilt naturally shed snow quickly; light snow covering actually reflects additional light to exposed panel areas
Cloud performance: Modern panels generate 10–25% of rated capacity even on overcast days
High-value net metering: Excess production credited at Eversource's premium retail rates (24–28 cents/kWh)—among the most valuable net metering credits in the nation
Real Merrimack System Performance:
A typical 7kW residential system in Merrimack produces approximately 8,000–9,000 kWh annually—enough to offset 70–85% of average household consumption. Given Eversource's premium rates, each kWh produced saves 24–28 cents—nearly double the national average value per kWh. Commercial systems show similar performance ratios with properly engineered tilt angles and south-facing orientations. Cold New England temperatures provide year-round efficiency advantages, making solar one of the most financially rewarding energy investments available in Southern New Hampshire.
