Massachusetts to Launch $1,000 Solar Thermal Rebates

In an effort to make clean energy more affordable in the home, Massachusetts is launching a pilot rebate program this month for solar thermal hot water panels.

The program, headed by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, would award $1,000, on average, for a two-panel system. For a typical household of 4-5 residents, the panels would cost about $8,000-$10,000.

But residents could even save as much as half of the purchase price through other state and federal rebates, including the 30% federal renewable energy tax credit.

While the rebate will cover a significant number of customers, there are certain restrictions. Those hoping to cash in must be a customer of NSTAR, National Grid, Unitil, or Western Massachusetts Electric Company.

For those that are not customers of these companies, they must reside in the towns of Ashburnham, Templeton, Holden, Holyoke, or Russell.

The program is funded with $1 million from the MassCEC?s Renewable Energy Trust.
