Why Plymouth homeowners are going solar.
Plymouth combines historic coastal character with newer residential developments spread across one of the largest land areas of any Massachusetts town. The mix of older homes near the village center and larger newer homes in West Plymouth and Manomet makes for strong solar potential.
Plymouth's coastal location and large geographic footprint mean its homes vary widely, from antique colonials in the historic district to spacious new construction in the Cedarville and White Horse Beach areas. Eversource serves the entire town with electricity rates that rank among the highest in the country, which dramatically improves solar economics. Battery storage is increasingly popular in Plymouth thanks to occasional storm-related outages along the coast, and our team designs many Plymouth installations with backup capability built in. We handle Plymouth's permitting process and Eversource interconnection routinely.

- Yes. East Coast Solar installs residential and commercial solar in Plymouth. Our crew is based in Worcester, 70 miles away. We handle design, permitting, installation, and service in-house, with no subcontractors.
- What's the average electricity rate in Plymouth?
- Plymouth homes are served by Eversource, 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.

- How long does a solar installation take in Plymouth?
- Most Plymouth 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 Plymouth building department, and the utility interconnection process with Eversource.
