Many Boston Building Resources members have already made the transition to using solar power for their homes. But it’s all too easy to be deterred by a process that can sometimes be intimidating, overwhelming, or confusing. To help make it easy to learn about solar and compare the best options for your home, BBR is partnering with EnergySage, a website that provides helpful resources, calculators, and marketplaces to explore your solar options, whether you rent or own, for free, with no sales calls. Begin exploring your options here.

If you think solar could be a good fit, EnergySage lets you easily request and compare multiple quotes from several locally vetted installers without having to speak to a salesperson. Energy advisors are also available for free at any point during the solar process to support you and answer any questions so you can make the decision that’s right for you.

“EnergySage’s mission is to empower people to make smarter energy decisions through simplicity, transparency, and choice,” said Tess O’Brien, VP of partnerships with EnergySage. “We’re a truly unbiased source dedicated to helping consumers learn about solar, decide if it’s a fit for them, and comparison shop for solar installers without any pressure to buy. We’re excited to bring this opportunity directly to BBR members.”

You can also take advantage of state and federal incentives, including the federal investment tax credit currently set at 26% of a solar project cost. This subsidy will go down to 22% in 2023 unless additional legislation is passed, so if you’re interested in going solar, it may be worth researching and getting quotes now to get in before the tax credit goes down.

EnergySage is free to use. They make their money from fees paid by energy companies, like the solar installers, to participate in the marketplace, and BBR receives a revenue share (typically $200) for each person who signs up through our organization.
