Massachusetts has an existing rebate program for residential and small commercial parties that installed solar systems. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the funds ran out in October, almost two years ahead of schedule, showing that people are embracing the idea of solar panels and systems in their homes!
The solar industry worried that the lack of incentives would slow down projects–but fortunately we’ll never know, as the state is re-implementing solar rebates starting in January. (There is also program for larger-scale businesses.)
And for those who are not going solar, well, they lose out double–as the rebate program is funded by a surcharge on electricity bills.
It looks like the people of the Commonwealth are certainly getting with the sustainable program. We at GreenHomeImprovement.com take our hats off to you.
