Why Quincy homeowners are going solar.
Quincy is one of the largest cities in Greater Boston, with a dense residential base spread across neighborhoods like Wollaston, Squantum, Marina Bay, and Houghs Neck. The mix of single-family homes, triple-deckers, and commercial buildings makes Quincy a strong fit for both residential and commercial solar.
Quincy homeowners on National Grid pay among the highest residential electricity rates in the United States, which makes solar one of the better financial investments available to Quincy property owners. The city's residential neighborhoods include everything from the dense triple-deckers and single-family homes in Wollaston and West Quincy to the larger homes along the waterfront in Squantum and Marina Bay. Quincy's commercial corridor along Hancock Street and the office and light-industrial buildings near the Quincy Adams T station present strong commercial solar opportunities. Our crew handles Quincy's permitting and inspection processes routinely, including projects under the city's Solar Quincy initiative.
