Why Grafton homeowners are going solar.
Grafton is a picturesque New England town known for its historic town common, excellent schools, and strong community spirit. The town's mix of historic and newer homes provides diverse opportunities for solar installation.
Grafton's rural-suburban character means many properties have the open space and sun exposure that make solar installations particularly productive. The town's larger lots, especially in South Grafton and along the rural roads, are excellent candidates for ground-mounted solar systems when rooftop installation isn't ideal. Grafton homeowners on National Grid electricity face the same high rates as Massachusetts, making the financial case for solar compelling. We've installed both rooftop and ground-mount systems throughout Grafton, helping families in this charming community reduce their dependence on grid electricity and lock in low energy costs for decades.
Solar incentives for Grafton residents.

- Yes. East Coast Solar installs residential and commercial solar in Grafton. Our crew is based in Worcester, 10 miles away. We handle design, permitting, installation, and service in-house, with no subcontractors.
- What's the average electricity rate in Grafton?
- Grafton homes are served by National Grid, with residential rates typically in the $0.28 to $0.33 per kWh range as of 2025. These are among the highest electricity rates in the United States, which is the main reason solar payback in Massachusetts is shorter than the national average.

- Grafton residents qualify for the full Massachusetts solar incentive stack: the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit, the 15% MA state tax credit (up to $1,000), the SMART production-based incentive program, net metering through National Grid, and exemptions from property and sales tax on the solar system itself.
- How long does a solar installation take in Grafton?
- Most Grafton residential installations take 4 to 8 weeks from signed contract to system activation. The on-site rooftop install itself is one to two days. The rest of the timeline is engineering, permitting with the Grafton building department, and the utility interconnection process with National Grid.
