Why Springfield homeowners are going solar.
Springfield is Western Massachusetts' largest city and a major commercial center along the Connecticut River. From the historic homes of Forest Park to the brick three-deckers of the North End, Springfield has the building stock and the electricity rates that make solar a serious financial win.
Springfield homeowners served by Eversource face some of the highest residential electricity rates in Western Massachusetts, which makes the financial case for solar especially strong. The city's mix of single-family homes in neighborhoods like East Forest Park, Sixteen Acres, and Indian Orchard, plus the larger flat-roof commercial buildings along State Street and downtown, supports a wide range of solar system designs. Our crew has experience with Springfield's building department and Eversource's Western Massachusetts interconnection process. For Springfield businesses, the combination of high commercial rates and the Massachusetts SMART incentive structure makes commercial rooftop solar one of the strongest investments available.
