Solar Energy Systems:
All You Need to Know
Solar energy captures the sun’s power and converts it into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. This renewable energy source is sustainable and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a cleaner, healthier environment, and reducing dependence on costly grid power.
Here’s how the process works:
1 Sunlight Absorption
PV cells in solar panels absorb sunlight throughout the day.
2 Direct Current (DC) Generation
When sunlight interacts with the PV cells, it excites electrons, producing direct current (DC) electricity.
3 DC to Alternating Current (AC) Conversion
A solar inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC), the type used in homes and businesses.
4 Power Distribution
AC electricity flows through the electrical panel, powering appliances and devices.
5 Energy Storage or Grid Feedback
Any excess electricity can be stored in solar batteries for later use or sent back to the grid, potentially earning credits through net metering.
The Rise of Solar Energy in New
Hampshire
New Hampshire has seen a significant increase in solar energy adoption, with 18% of its electricity generation coming from renewable resources, including small-scale solar installations, in 2023.

Why Invest in a Solar Energy System

Increasing Electricity Bills
New Hampshire has one of the highest electricity rates in the United States, with an average of 23.62 cents per kilowatt-hour in March 2025, compared to the national average of 16.26 cents.

Interest in Reducing Your Environmental Impact

Need for a Reliable and Independent Energy Source

Desire to Increase Property Value

NH Incentives for Solar Power:
Financial Options
Incentive
- Residential Clean Energy Tax CreditÂ
- Property Tax Exemption for Solar Installations
- Net Metering
- The Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Solar Incentive Program
- The Community Development Finance Authority Clean Energy Fund
Description
- Reduces the cost of your solar panel system by 30%. It can be claimed on federal taxes and may roll over for up to 5 years if not fully used. This credit applies to both new and existing homes.
- Exempts the added value of solar panels from property taxes, which can lower your annual property tax payments. The exemption percentage varies by municipality, so check with your local authorities.
- Net metering allows homeowners with solar systems to sell excess energy back to the grid which can lower their electricity bills. However, net metering regulations are subject to change, so staying updated with your utility provider is important.
- Offers financial incentives of up to 25% of the total solar project cost or $10,000, whichever is less. This program is available to commercial structures in New Hampshire with electric meters.
- Businesses, towns, and nonprofits can use this fund to navigate the energy investment financing process.
Notes
- This tax credit is only available for purchased systems, not leased. Make sure to check the eligibility requirements for your home and system size.
- The exemption varies by town, so it’s important to check with your local assessor to understand how it applies to your installation.
- Not all utilities offer net metering, and rates can change over time. Confirm your provider’s net metering policies before installing your system.
- The program is only available to commercial structures and has a cap on the maximum incentive.
- This fund assists in financing but does not directly provide cash incentives. Eligibility requirements apply.

FAQs
Everything You
Need to Know
Is Solar Energy Worth It in New Hampshire?
With rising electricity costs and the state’s growing focus on renewable energy, New Hampshire solar power is becoming an increasingly worthwhile investment in New Hampshire.
Is Solar Affordable in NH?
Yes. Many variables such as panel location, energy needs, and whether or not you will include storage impact the cost of a system. Once you have a design proposal from a reputable solar contractor, incentives can offset some of the cost. Financing plans often result in a monthly payment that is equal to or less than your monthly utility bill. Even better, the financed payment will never go up, it will only go away over time.
What Is the Lifespan of a Solar Energy System?
A solar energy system typically lasts 25-30 years, with many panels continuing to produce energy even after that time, though at a slightly reduced efficiency.
How Close to Houses Can a Solar Farm Be?
The distance a solar farm can be located near houses depends on zoning laws and local regulations, but they are typically set back a few hundred feet from residential areas.
Do Solar Panels Have Any Health Risks?
No, solar panels pose no direct health risks when installed properly. They are safe for both homeowners and the environment.
Are there Solar Tax Incentives for NH?
Yes, the federal solar tax credit currently allows NH homeowners to deduct a portion of the cost of installing a solar system from their federal taxes.
