Solar
Solar Program
Program Name: S.M.A.R.T Program
Program Description: The Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target Program was created by the state’s Department of Energy Resources to promote solar system adoption within the state of Massachusetts and provide incentives to commercial businesses to assist them with adoption. The tariff-based incentive is paid to the system owner by their utility company after the approval of the application by the Solar Program Administrator and DOER. Solar arrays are designed and installed making the location an energy producer thereby minimizing energy cost for the facility and also adding electrical production to the grid. In addition, solar arrays may be paired with energy storage through the use of battery back up systems to assist businesses in controlling demand charges. When battery backup is incorporated into the project, energy is produced and stored for a later time to offset peak demand and the associated charges. This is a highly beneficial solution for Massachusetts rate payers who experience some of the highest rate and demand charges in the country.
