Community Solar / Net Metering

Community solar allows multiple households/businesses to benefit from a shared solar power system—without needing panels installed directly on your property. Net metering lets homeowners earn credits for excess electricity their solar panels generate and send back to the grid. This helps reduce your monthly energy bill and supports clean, renewable power. With East Coast Renewable Energy, you can access these savings while supporting a greener Massachusetts.

There is no need to install anything in your home or business or switch your provider.

To qualify, you only need to pay an electric bill to the “major” providers.

You will continue to receive electricity through your approved electric provider. The only difference: you will be saving 10% (each state varies) of credits, and you will now be using renewable energy.

Your supply rate is not affected by enrolling in the Net Metering program. The Net Metering program works in conjunction with the supply rates.
