How Does Massachusetts Solar Work?
- Solar Financing is typically completed using a power purchase agreement.
- The local utilities such as National Grid and Eversource work with solar developers like YSG Solar to expedite the interconnection process.
YSG Solar focuses on selling net meter credits through a net meter purchase agreement. This agreement is very similar to a power purchase agreement, instead of on a wholesale power market such as New England. YSG Solar has been established since 2010 and is one of the top 5 solar developers in New England and Massachusetts, with experience in Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island.
