What Eversource Is Really Charging You

Most homeowners see one number on their bill and don't look further. We broke it down — and what we found is alarming.

Distribution Charge

This isn't even for the electricity itself — it's just to maintain their wires and equipment. You're paying for their infrastructure upkeep every month.

~$45–$80/month hidden in your bill
🏗️

Transmission Charge

A fee to "transport" electricity across the grid — a grid you had no choice but to use. This is a monopoly tax with no opt-out.

~$20–$40/month added automatically
📋

Transition & Energy Efficiency Charges

Fees they tack on for their own programs and past investments. You fund their projects whether you benefit or not.

~$15–$30/month with no transparency
📈

Supply Rate Volatility

Eversource changes their supply rate twice a year. In 2023–2024, rates spiked over 50%. You're at the mercy of market swings — forever.

No cap. No ceiling. No protection.
💡

The average Mass homeowner pays $2,400+/year to Eversource

Solar eliminates or dramatically reduces that number — while the state and federal government pay you to make the switch.

The Government Is Paying You To Go Solar

Massachusetts is one of the best states in the country for solar — stacking federal, state, and utility incentives that dramatically cut your costs.

🏛️
30%
Federal Investment Tax Credit
Deduct 30% of your total solar installation cost directly from your federal taxes. On a $20,000 system, that's $6,000 back in your pocket.
🏠
$1,000
MA State Income Tax Credit
Massachusetts adds a 15% state income tax credit on top, capped at $1,000. Fully stackable with the federal credit for maximum savings.
☀️
10 yrs
SMART Program Payments
The Commonwealth pays you a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour your system produces for 10 years. Monthly cash payments deposited directly. Earlier enrollment = better rates.
🔄
1:1
Net Metering Credits
Excess power you generate gets credited back to your bill at full retail rate. Your summer surplus offsets your winter bills automatically.
🚫
$0
Sales Tax Exemption
Massachusetts waives the 6.25% sales tax on all solar equipment — panels, inverter, installation hardware included.
🏡
20 yrs
Property Tax Exemption
Solar adds real equity to your home but Massachusetts won't raise your property taxes for it. Enjoy the home value bump tax-free for 20 years.

Lease With No Upfront Cost

Not ready to buy outright? No problem. If your home qualifies under Massachusetts state guidelines, you may be able to get solar panels installed on your roof with zero money down — and start saving on day one.

  • $0 upfront — panels installed at no cost to you
  • Immediate savings on your monthly electric bill
  • No maintenance responsibility — covered by the lease
  • Backed by Massachusetts clean energy programs
  • Fixed monthly lease rate — no surprise increases
  • Option to purchase the system at end of lease term

Lease eligibility is determined by a free site survey of your property and a review of Massachusetts state qualification criteria — including roof condition, sun exposure, and utility zone. If you qualify, we handle everything. Fill out the form below and we'll let you know within 24 hours.

What Our Clients Are Saying

★★★★★

"I had no idea how many hidden charges were on my Eversource bill until they showed me. We went solar 8 months ago and I've paid almost nothing since. Wish I'd done it sooner."

MR
Mike R.

★★★★★

"I didn't have the cash to buy outright so I went with the lease. Zero down, panels on my roof in two weeks, and my bill dropped by over $100 a month. The site survey was fast and painless."

TS
Tanya S.

★★★★★

"Commonwealth Solar walked me through everything — the federal credit, the state credit, net metering. It felt overwhelming at first but they made it simple. My electric bill went from $230 to $11."
