Thinking about going solar? There’s no wrong time to make the switch. Whether it’s summer, fall, winter, or spring, installing solar offers benefits all year long—from slashing your energy bills to protecting against rising utility rates. Here’s why going solar is a smart move in any season:

Start Saving on Energy Bills Right Away
when is the best time to go solar

No matter when you install your system, solar panels begin lowering your electric costs as soon as they’re up and running. Whether you’re powering your air conditioning in July or heating in January, your system will help reduce or offset the energy you pull from the grid.

Protect Against Rising Utility Rates

Electric rates don’t wait for a “perfect season” to rise—they can spike anytime. By going solar now, you protect yourself against future rate hikes and take control of your energy expenses, no matter what time of year it is.

Incentives Are Available Year-Round—But They May Change

Various state solar incentives are available now—but there’s always a chance they could change in the future. Starting your solar project today ensures you can lock in these savings while they’re still on the table, regardless of the season.

Installations Happen Every Month

While summer offers long sunny days, skilled solar installers work in every season—even during New England winters. In fact, going solar in the “off-season” can sometimes mean shorter lead times and quicker permitting as demand temporarily dips. Whenever you choose to start, the process moves forward. 

Year-Round Energy Benefits

Solar panels generate energy in every season—even on cold, clear winter days. And thanks to net metering, any extra energy produced in sunnier months can be credited to your account and used later, giving you year-round savings and efficiency. 

Why New Englanders Choose Solar in Every Season

At New England Clean Energy, we’ve guided thousands of homeowners and businesses across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Southern Maine through the solar journey—in every season. Whether you start in summer sunshine or winter chill, the long-term benefits remain the same.
