Approved by Nantucket Board of Selectmen: May 24, 2017
Program Effective Launch Date: July 1, 2017
In July 2017, the Town of Nantucket launched a "first-of-its-kind" local solar rebate program intended to stimulate the adoption of solar energy systems on primary, residential properties located on Nantucket. Rebates of up to $4,000 are provided to cover a portion of the costs of successfully-installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, making ownership more affordable for local residents.
This program is intended to provide a number of key community benefits:
The Solar Rebate Program is funded through an extra 1/10th ¢ per kilowatt hour (kWh) charge that is included in the Nantucket PowerChoice supply rate. The solar "adder" equates to 80¢ per-month for an average resident using 800kWh/month.
The rebates are available on a first come, first served basis as funds are available.

"We are quite proud to launch the Solar Rebate Program, as it is the first of its kind in the state. The solar program is a way to boost the amount of renewable energy on Nantucket, while helping to reduce electricity costs for local constituents.
It is a clear win-win scenario, which we hope other communities will follow."
--Libby Gibson, Town Manager
