Avg. System Cost (6kW)

New Hampshire's northern New England location provides moderate solar resources with approximately 3.7 peak sun hours daily, but the Granite State compensates with some of the highest electricity rates in the country at over $0.22/kWh. This economic driver makes residential solar a strong financial proposition.

New Hampshire offers full retail net metering for systems up to 100 kW and provides a residential solar rebate of up to $1,000 through the Public Utilities Commission's Renewable Energy Fund. Eversource and Liberty Utilities are the state's primary electric providers. New Hampshire exempts solar equipment from property tax, and there is no state sales tax.

Manchester, Nashua, and Concord are the primary residential solar markets. With high electricity rates offsetting moderate sunshine, New Hampshire homeowners can achieve payback periods of 7-10 years when combining the state rebate with the federal tax credit.
