More about solar power in New Hampshire

What do you need to know about solar in New Hampshire? Well, beginning in the summer of 2009, the Granite State will begin distributing funds via a solar energy rebate program. Initially available to small solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems in the residential sector, the program is expected to expand to include larger systems. Initial rebate levels have been set at $3.00/watt, up to $6,000. Beyond this, solar in New Hampshire is benefited by net-metering rules, which ensure that any excess electricity generated by your system is fed back into the grid and credited to your utility account. Finally, homeowners and businesses in New Hampshire shouldn't forget about the 30-percent federal renewable energy tax credit. Residents and businesses who install solar panels or a solar thermal (solar hot water) system can take the federal credit, worth up to 30 percent of total installed system costs. Any excess credit may be carried forward to the subsequent tax year. Important note: for commercial systems installed in 2009 and 2010, businesses can receive a solar energy grant instead of, and equal to, the 30-percent tax credit.
