Federal and State Incentives, 0% loans

Take advantage of an uncapped 30% Federal Tax Credit on the cost of equipment and labor (battery must have at least 3 kWh capacity).

In addition, in Massachusetts, rebates through the ConnectedSolutions program can save you even more, and make you eligible for a Mass Save® HEAT  Loan of  up to $25,000 at 0% interest over terms of up to 7  years if battery is enrolled in ConnectedSolutions.

ConnectedSolutions incentivizes customers to curtail their energy when demand on the New England electric grid is forecasted to be at its peak, known as Demand Response. Customers are compensated on a pay-for-performance basis for the average kW they curtail during dispatch events over the summer season. During a demand response event, your battery will be remotely discharged without the customer’s active participation. The discharge will be barely noticeable, if at all, by you, the home owner.

“Battery Storage for Homes & Businesses”

On Feb 28, 2023,  MetroWest Climate Solutions presented a webinar on onsite battery storage systems. In this session, Matt Honkonen of East Coast Solar provided an overview of issues to consider when installing battery storage systems in your home and/or business, including cost. The session also discussed the often-overlooked human rights abuses associated with cobalt / lithium mines in Africa. Following Matt, two local residents shared their experiences in evaluating vendors and installing battery storage systems in their homes. Watch the recording here.
