Why Shrewsbury homeowners are going solar.
Shrewsbury's tree-lined neighborhoods and excellent schools make it one of Massachusetts' most desirable communities. With a mix of established colonials and newer construction, Shrewsbury homes are ideal candidates for solar installation.
Shrewsbury residents served by Shrewsbury Electric and Cable Operations (SELCO) enjoy some unique advantages when it comes to solar. As a municipal utility, SELCO has its own net metering policies that can benefit solar homeowners. Our team is experienced with SELCO's interconnection process and requirements. The town's predominantly residential character, with many south-facing roofs on colonials and garrison colonials built in the 1960s-80s, makes it a prime market for residential solar. We've completed numerous installations throughout Shrewsbury's neighborhoods, from the estates near Lake Quinsigamond to the family homes along Route 9.
