Why Falmouth homeowners are going solar.
Falmouth is one of the Cape's largest towns, with a mix of year-round homes and seasonal properties spread across coastal villages from Woods Hole to North Falmouth. The combination of strong sun exposure, high electricity rates, and frequent storm-related outages makes Falmouth a standout market for solar plus battery storage.
Falmouth homeowners on Eversource benefit from some of the highest residential electricity rates in the country, plus an unusually high incidence of grid outages tied to coastal storms. That combination makes solar paired with battery storage particularly compelling here. The town's mix of older Cape-style homes near the village center and larger newer construction in areas like Sippewissett and East Falmouth supports a wide range of system sizes. Our design team handles the salt-air environment with stainless and marine-grade hardware where appropriate, and we work routinely with Falmouth's building department and the local historic district commissions.
