Believe it or not, summer isn’t that far away! Before you know it, the AC will be running, the kids will be out of school, and energy bills will be climbing. With longer days and rising temperatures, summer is when electricity usage skyrockets—and so do utility rates.
If you’ve been thinking about going solar, now is the perfect time. By installing your system before summer, you can start saving money right when your energy usage is at its highest. Here’s why acting now is a smart move for your wallet and the planet.
1. Make the Most of the Summer Sun
Summer in Massachusetts means longer, sunnier days—the ideal conditions for solar panels. The sooner you install, the sooner you can start producing your own electricity. Getting your system up and running before the season kicks off means lower energy bills just in time for peak usage.
2. Lock in Lower Energy Costs Before Rates Go Up
Electricity rates tend to spike in the summer when demand is high. Instead of paying more per kilowatt-hour, why not produce your own energy and keep more money in your pocket? With solar, you can stabilize your energy costs and avoid the sticker shock of high summer bills.
3. Take Advantage of Solar Incentives
Right now, there are still great financial incentives available to help make solar more affordable:
- Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) – Get 30% of your installation cost back in tax credits.
- Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – Earn money for the clean energy your system produces by selling RECs.
- Net Metering – Send excess energy to the grid and receive credits to offset future electric bills.
Getting started now ensures you can take full advantage of these programs before any changes happen.
4. Avoid the Summer Rush
As we get closer to summer, demand for solar installations ramps up. Waiting too long could mean missing out on early installation dates, which means higher bills for another season. By locking in your project now, you can beat the rush and start enjoying your savings sooner.
5. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint When It Matters Most
Summer energy demand leads to an increase in fossil fuel consumption. By going solar now, you can reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources and make a real impact on the environment—just in time for peak energy season.
Now’s the Time to Make the Switch
