HD 2664 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to promote low-income access to solar

HD 2664 requires Massachusetts' Department of Energy Resources to make solar incentive programs accessible to low-income renters and small businesses. It creates a verification process using income thresholds (80% of area median income or 200% of federal poverty level) or proof of participation in programs like Medicaid, SNAP, or housing assistance. The bill bans credit checks for eligibility, prohibits early termination fees for residential customers, and mandates monthly updates for solar credits. Multi-unit buildings qualifying as low-income housing (e.g., under Chapter 40B) are exempt from program limits like bill credit maximums.
