How Does Massachusetts Solar Work?
Solar Financing is typically completed using a power purchase agreement.
The local utilities such as National Grid and Eversource work with solar developers like YSG Solar to expedite the interconnection process.
YSG Solar focuses on selling net meter credits through a net meter purchase agreement. This agreement is very similar to a power purchase agreement, instead of on a wholesale power market such as New England. YSG Solar has been established since 2010 and is one of the top 5 solar developers in New England and Massachusetts, with experience in Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island.
