Why Hudson homeowners are going solar.
Hudson is a revitalized Massachusetts town with a growing downtown, an engaged community, and a mix of residential and light-commercial properties well suited to solar.
Hudson Light and Power, the town's municipal utility, offers its own programs and rate structures that can benefit solar homeowners in specific ways. Our team works with both Hudson Light and Power and investor-owned utilities as applicable, so we can design the right financial structure for any Hudson project. The town's mix of older homes near downtown and newer developments along Route 85 and Route 62 supports a wide range of solar system sizes. Commercial properties along the Route 85 corridor are also strong candidates for commercial solar.
Solar incentives for Hudson residents.

- Net Metering: credits for excess electricity sent back to the grid
- 15% Massachusetts State Tax Credit (up to $1,000)
