Solar for All Information for Residents

Resources and information to learn more about the Solar for All program and solar electricity

Solar for All Update

On August 7, 2025, the Trump Administration notified the Department of Energy Resources that it was cancelling the Solar for All program, including the $156 million in funding awarded to Massachusetts. As a result of this federal action, Massachusetts’ Solar for All program is on pause until further notice. We will continue to monitor the status of Solar for All funding and provide more information as it becomes available.  The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office is challenging the EPA’s termination of Solar for All. More information can be found in this announcement.

Participate in Solar for All

The MASFA programs expect to begin providing funds for the single-family loan and lease programs in Fall 2025. This page will be updated as more information becomes available, including how residents can apply for the program. For more program details, please see:

Lease vs. Loan

As you begin exploring solar, an important step is deciding what type of ownership and financing structures are right for you.

The MASFA Coalition will offer both solar loan and solar lease programs for residential customers, and will hire a Decision Support provider to help residents choose which option is right for them. We encourage interested residents to learn more about incentives, ownership, and financing options for solar.
