*The average cost after incentives is an estimate based on a 2,000 square foot MA home and includes applicable 2026 State tax credits and 2026 Mass Save® rebates. Actual project costs may vary.

**The estimated cost of solar PV is based off actual MA projects from 2019 – 2024 and includes 2026 State tax credits. The average single family system size in Massachusetts is 7 – 8 kW DC. Over the lifetime of the system, additional revenue can be generated through energy savings or other incentive programs such as the SMART program. Please visit MassCEC’s Solar Cost Comparison Tool for examples of residential solar installations from 2001-2024.

***The estimated cost of an EV is based on the after-incentives cost for a moderately-priced vehicle which qualifies for the MOR-EV Standard Rebate and the MOR-EV+ Rebate. To be eligible for the state incentives applied in this estimate, you must meet the relevant eligibility requirements, and your chosen vehicle must be listed under the eligible vehicles for each program. Visit our EV incentives page to learn more about eligibility requirements.

There may be additional Mass Save® incentives available for specific project types (i.e. new construction, renovations, additions).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

This graph shows the carbon emissions produced by heating a standard 2,000 square-foot (SF) Massachusetts home using traditional as compared to clean technologies, assuming either today’s electric grid or a 100% renewable grid.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions for Heating a Standard 2,000 SF Home

  • 2020 Electricity Grid
  • 100% Clean Electricity Grid

OPERATING COSTS

The graphs represent the annual heating operating cost for a standard 2,000 SF home heated by fossil fuels as compared to clean energy technologies.

*Please note that prices and performance may vary by year, system, and home weatherization level. Homeowners who install air-source heat pumps or ground-source heat pumps, which also provide cooling, can also expect to save 30% – 50% on cooling costs as compared to a standard central air-conditioning system.
