Why Framingham homeowners are going solar.
Framingham is a dynamic MetroWest city with a mix of established neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and a growing commitment to clean energy. It's one of our highest-traffic service areas thanks to strong electricity rates and supportive local programs.
Framingham residents served by Eversource face high electricity rates, which translate directly into strong solar economics. The city has a diverse housing stock, from older neighborhoods near downtown to newer developments in the north and south, and almost every home style supports well-designed rooftop solar. Framingham's commercial sector along Route 9 and the Mass Pike corridor is also a strong fit for commercial solar, with many flat-roofed office and retail buildings. Our team is familiar with Framingham's permitting and inspection processes and can keep residential projects moving on a fast timeline.
