Community solar for Eversource customers.
Every Eversource household in Massachusetts can share in the state's community solar program. Credits get applied to the Eversource bill you already pay — you keep 20% of the credit value as savings, up to 40% if you receive assistance. No panels, no fees, renters welcome.

Fair question. There isn't one — here's how it works for Massachusetts households, in plain English.
Where the discount comes from
Massachusetts supports solar farms across the state that feed clean energy into the grid. When you join, you're allocated a share of one farm's output — and the credits from your share land on your Eversource bill every month.
What changes for you
Only the number at the bottom. Eversource still delivers your power over the same wires with the same reliability. Nothing gets installed, and you keep 20% of the credit value — up to 40% if income-qualified.
How enrollment works
Enrollment is with Ampion, a public benefit corporation that's been running solar programs across the country since the state programs opened up. You sign up online, nothing gets installed at your home, and credits appear on your existing bill.
Massachusetts households on LIHEAP or other assistance: your savings jump to 40%.
Massachusetts households receiving government assistance may qualify for the boosted rate — up to 40% of credit value kept as savings, verified during enrollment. Renters qualify too.

Is this a government program?
The savings come through Massachusetts's state-supported clean energy programs, but enrollment is with Ampion Renewable Energy, a public benefit corporation — not a government agency. Your Eversource service stays exactly the same.
Does it cost anything to join?
No sign-up fees, deposits, equipment, or installation costs. Nothing is installed at your home and there's nothing to buy.
How much can I save on my Eversource bill?
Most households keep 20% of their monthly credit value as savings. If you receive assistance — LIHEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, ACP (Affordability Connectivity Program), Federal Public Housing Assistance, Lifeline, or Veterans Pension — you may qualify for up to 40%. Eligibility is verified during enrollment.
I rent in Massachusetts. Can I still join?
Yes. Your share lives at a solar farm, not your building, so renters qualify the same as homeowners — no landlord involvement needed.
Will my lights or service change?
No. Same Eversource delivery, same wires, same reliability. The only change is credits appearing on your bill.
