When you qualify for solar through National Grid or Eversource's net metering program, the roof must be in good standing. If yours needs replacing, it can often be addressed as part of the same project — with no large upfront cost if you qualify. Bill savings of up to 40% based on usage and eligibility.*
*Subject to credit approval, roof inspection, and program eligibility. Not all homeowners will qualify. Savings vary by property, usage, and financing. No guarantee of approval or specific savings amount.
This is the first thing we check — if it qualifies, solar pays for it.
Most people don't know this: the solar program requires the roof to be in good standing. If yours needs work, that's not a problem — it's the opening.
National Grid and Eversource's net metering program requires the roof to be in good condition for the last 5 years or so before solar panels can be installed. If your roof doesn't meet that standard, it has to be addressed first.
That's where the opportunity is. When you qualify for the solar program, roof replacement can be coordinated as part of the same project — so instead of paying for a new roof out of pocket, you're getting one as a condition of going solar. The solar savings cover the economics. Your bill drops. The roof gets done.
The net metering program requires the roof to be in good standing — typically within the last 5 years or so. If your roof doesn't qualify as-is, we address it as part of the same program.
We review your electric bill, your roof condition, and your property. If solar makes sense for your usage and location, we move forward. If the roof needs work first, we flag it at the same time.
If your roof needs repair or replacement before panels can go on, our roofing partner handles it. The goal is for both to be done together so you're not coordinating two separate projects.
Once the roof is in good standing, solar is installed. You stop paying the utility's supply and delivery charges and replace them with one lower solar bill through the net metering program.
Not everyone gets approved, but if you own your home in Massachusetts and have a meaningful electric bill, the program is worth a look. The consultation is free and tells you for sure.
I called about my electric bill and they explained how the program works. Roof got addressed as part of the qualification process, then solar went in. My bill dropped noticeably. Really smooth process.
New Roof + Solar · Worcester, MAThe consultation was straightforward — they reviewed my bill and my roof and walked me through what would happen if I qualified. Everything was explained clearly and there was no pressure at any point.
New Roof + Solar · Newton, MAI went through the free consultation not knowing what to expect. They were upfront about everything — what I'd need to qualify, what the process looked like, and what the estimated savings could be. Ended up being approved and the whole project came together well.
New Roof + Solar · Framingham, MAThe net metering program through National Grid and Eversource requires the roof to be in good standing before solar panels are installed. If your roof needs work, it can often be addressed as part of the overall project. Mass Home Upgrades coordinates both the solar installation through New England Solar Co and any necessary roofing work through Froof Roofing so both happen together.
Your electric bill has two parts — the supply charge for the electricity you use, and the delivery charge for the utility to bring that electricity to your home. The delivery fee goes to National Grid or Eversource for maintaining the grid infrastructure. It can easily be as large as your supply charge. When you generate your own electricity through solar, you significantly reduce or eliminate both components.
Financing approval is subject to credit review. Generally a 660+ credit score puts you in a strong position. Below 600 may limit some options but the consultation explores what's available for your specific situation. Getting a consultation does not affect your credit score.
The consultation is completely free and there is no obligation. If you qualify and want to move forward, financing structures are available that require no large upfront cost. Everything depends on your specific situation — the consultation is where we review all of that with you.
Mass Home Upgrades finds Massachusetts homeowners who may qualify for energy and home improvement programs and connects them with the right licensed contractors to execute. We partner with New England Solar Co for solar installation and Froof Roofing (HIC #214455) for roofing. One appointment, one team, two upgrades coordinated together.
Absolutely. If your roof is in good condition, we go straight to solar qualification. The roofing side only comes into play if the inspection reveals the roof needs to be addressed before panels can be installed. Either way, the consultation covers both at the same time.
If your roof needs replacing and your bill is high, you may be exactly who this program was built for. Find out in 60 seconds — free, no obligation.
