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 Eversource territory households, in plain English.
Where the discount comes from
The state's clean energy programs fund local solar farms that supply the same grid Eversource territory already runs on. Join, and you're allocated a share of a farm's output — its credits show up on your Eversource bill monthly.
What changes for you
Honestly? Just the total. Same Eversource service, same wires, same reliability. No panels, no home visits, no equipment. You keep 20% of your credit value as savings — up to 40% if you're on assistance.
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.
Eversource territory 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 Eversource territory. 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.
