With rising power bills, winter outages, and federal incentives nearing expiration, solar has become one of the most talked-about home upgrades across Maine homes. At Suncovia, we’ve installed solar on homes from Bar Harbor to Brunswick and we hear the same key questions every day. More Maine homes are considering this upgrade than ever before.

Here’s why more Maine homeowners are switching to solar in 2025:

Many Maine homes are now benefiting from clean energy solutions that were once considered too expensive.

“Can solar really save me money in Maine?”

Yes. Even with shorter winter days, Maine homeowners benefit from strong solar production from March to October. With high electricity rates, the typical homeowner can save over $1,500 per year.

“What’s the payback period?”

Most systems in Maine pay for themselves in 6 to 9 years. And because panels last 25+ years, your long-term savings are substantial—often totaling $30,000 or more.

“Will my system work during storms?”

When paired with battery storage, yes. Your system can provide backup power during outages, keeping essential circuits running when you need them most.

“What state and federal incentives can I use?”
  • 30% Federal Tax Credit (ITC)
  • Maine’s Net Energy Billing program (earn credits on your bill)
  • State sales tax exemption on solar equipment
  • Property tax exemption for added home value
“Will it increase my property value?”

Absolutely. Homes with solar, including many Maine homes, typically sell faster and at a premium. And thanks to Maine’s solar-friendly property tax rules, your increased value won’t raise your property taxes.

“What if my roof is shaded or steep?”

No problem. Our team uses advanced solar design software and shading analysis to customize every system for maximum efficiency—no matter your roof type.
