My Generation Energy

At My Generation Energy, we install only the best solar panels, inverters, hardware, and electrical components. We look for equipment with the longest warranties, low maintenance, and dependable performance. For solar photovoltaic panels, we install a variety of solar panel brands depending on the needs of the project. For batteries, we are certified installers of Tesla Powerwall, sonnenBatterie, and Enphase Encharge. Learn more here: https://www.mygenerationenergy.com/residential-solar/

Yes, we install solar on the South Shore, Cape Cod & the Islands, South Coast, and Boston area.

Yes! We install commercial and residential solar.

Homeowners or business owners who don’t have enough upfront cash to cover the entire cost of solar installation often have to choose between a solar loan and a solar lease. With solar loans, you’ll benefit from the full value of your solar energy production. By owning your own solar, you’ll have the greatest return on your investment and benefit from state and federal solar incentives. Under a solar lease, you won’t own your solar energy system, and therefore you won’t qualify for federal and local solar tax credits (which are some of the biggest savings). Leasing solar panels can also turn selling your home into a headache and can scare off buyers, and most monthly solar loan payments tend to be lower than those for leases.

We are a local solar company that services much of eastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and the Islands, Greater Boston, South Shore, and South Coast, as well as Rhode Island. If you live in or around Falmouth, Duxbury, Hingham, Chatham, Dartmouth, Westport, or Plymouth, you’re very likely in our service area! Learn more here: https://www.mygenerationenergy.com/

That depends on if you have solar battery backup! Without a solar battery, your grid-tied solar energy system is subject to the same disruptions in electricity that your neighbors are, which means that if there’s a storm and a tree falls on the power lines, you won’t have electricity for your home. But, with solar battery backup installation, your system will seamlessly switch over and start using energy from your battery to power your home, so as long as your battery remains charged, you can keep the lights on.

Yes! We can service any solar array, whether we installed it or not.

Yes, according to a recent study at the Florida Solar Energy Center at the University of Central Florida. They analyzed solar power capability throughout the United States. The results shown on this map indicate that the Southwest is the optimal location, but Massachusetts and Rhode Island each have 88% of the solar capacity of central Arizona! If it is hard to believe, consider this fact: modern solar technology is more efficient when it is kept cool. Our cool climate and summer sea breezes actually make electricity production soar!

Adding solar battery storage helps you maximize the benefits of your solar energy system. Not only can you use it for backup power to avoid power outages, but you’ll be able to store excess electricity produced during a sunny day to use at night or when it’s cloudy. You’ll gain energy independence and you can also use your solar battery (or batteries if you install a battery bank for extended energy storage) to avoid peak demand pricing from your utility company (this isn’t happening for residential customers in Massachusetts currently, but it is in other states and could be a factor for local homeowners in the future).

Net metering allows you to earn a credit on your monthly electricity bill for excess electricity that your solar panels produce. The excess energy goes back to the power grid, and the credit can be used when you need electricity and your solar panels can’t keep up in real time, like at night or when it’s cloudy.

The average solar panel can hold up to 800 pounds of snow? Snow guards help control snow from sliding off your panels all at once, creating a safer winter environment for you, your family, and your home. Learn more here: https://www.mygenerationenergy.com/services-maintenance/

The ITC was extended but still due to decline after 2022. In 2021 and 2022, the tax credit will remain at 26% but it will drop to 22% in 2023, and in 2024 will be eliminated completely for homeowners and lowered to a permanent 10% for commercial solar installations.

My Generation Energy provides a turn-key system: we take care of every step of the solar process, from permitting through completion. Typically, it takes about 2 months from signing a contract to interconnection. The majority of this time is spent on permitting and paperwork with utilities, and that is all taken care of by the My Generation Energy team. The actual on-site solar installation work at your home or business will only take 1-2 days. All you have to do is sit back & relax.
