Community solar makes going solar possible for those who still want to save on their energy bills with renewable energy but cannot install solar at their location. Community solar allows Central Maine Power and Versant Power (formerly Emera) customers to go solar, regardless of home-ownership status or how much sunshine their roof gets. There's no upfront cost to join, but spaces are limited. Joining community solar means supporting renewable power for your community and helping reduce your dependence on fossil fuels.

Commercial and industrial entities can also reap numerous benefits with the installation of a solar electric system. Whether you are a business owner or facility manager, Maine Solar Solutions has the knowledge and expertise you are looking for to help you make the switch to solar. We've installed solar PV systems for businesses, schools, and farms. We take a consultative approach with the goal of giving our customers the information they need to make an informed decision. Convert an operating expense, your electric bill, into a capital expense and fix your cost of electricity for 30 years or more.

Our company is built around its people - so it is no surprise our team has grown Maine Solar Solutions into one of the fastest-growing solar installation companies in the state. Our team designs, procures, installs, and services solar electric systems for residential and commercial customers throughout Maine. We have a great team of individuals that care about their work and constantly strive to produce the highest quality product and service that they can. We invest in people, want to see them grow, and empower them to bring new ideas and innovations to life.

In addition to residential and commercial solar electric systems, many of our customers have or plan to install ductless heat pumps. Maine Solar Solutions has proudly partnered with NorthEast Heatpumps for our solar + heat pump installs. You can learn more about ductless heat pumps below, or contact us. We are happy to explain how heat pumps coupled with solar reduce your payback time, reduce your utility bills, and increase your return on investment. A ductless heat pump, also called a mini-split heat pump, draws heat from the outside environment (even at cold temperatures) and moves it indoors to warm a particular area in a home or building.

Maine Solar Solutions takes a consultative approach when working with our customers. Our goal is to provide you with the information that you need to make an informed decision. The first step is a brief phone call where we gather some information and schedule a free solar site evaluation. We confirm your address, collect some information about your home, and determine your annual electricity usage. If possible we might ask for some photos of your electrical service panel and ask you to let us know if any generator equipment if present.

Share the savings of sustainable and affordable solar energy with your friends, family, and neighbors. The Maine Solar Referral Program allows you to refer friends for a free solar site assessment that earns you rewards and your friend's savings if they choose to install a solar electric system with us. If you'd like to refer a friend, all you have to do is enter your friend's contact info into the web form below. When your friend schedules their free solar site assessment with us, you earn $25!

Off-grid solar electric systems are designed to provide ample and continuous electricity for homes that are not connected to the utility power grid. Off-grid solar systems rely on battery storage to supply continuous power during periods when sunlight is not available. Off-grid systems provide true energy independence and self-sufficiency. Most people who choose to go off-grid do so either for environmental reasons, out of a desire to be more energy independent, or because it makes financial sense.

Our mission is to guide our clients through the process of determining if a renewable energy system makes sense for them. We take a consultative approach when working with our clients, with a focus on communicating clearly and providing the information that you need to make an informed decision. We design, install, and service solar electric systems throughout Maine, helping homeowners make the switch to solar. Many homeowners are choosing to power their homes with solar panels, and for good reason.

Maine Solar Solutions was founded in 2012 and during our eight years in business we have designed and installed over 600 commercial and residential solar electric systems throughout the state of Maine. Our licensed electricians and certified NABCEP employees follow industry best practices to ensure the highest quality solar electric installs.

With various customizable run modes, you can choose when and how you draw from your battery to keep things in your home running when you need them the most. Whether you want to go off the grid, are new to battery backup, or looking to add energy storage to your existing solar array, our team will guide you on what energy storage options work best for your property with a free assessment. Powerwall is a home battery that stores solar energy so you can use it on demand and self-power your home to reduce your reliance on grid electricity.

Below is a guide to the most important tax incentives available for your clean energy investment(s). Note that Maine Solar Solutions does not provide tax advice and this is for informational use only. We strongly recommend you work with a professional tax preparer. Solar electric systems qualify for a 26% federal tax credit in 2021. This applies to both residential and commercial solar PV systems. This credit is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit and will reduce the amount of tax owed by the system owner before any deductions are applied.
