About Solar in Auburn
Why Auburn Homeowners Are Going Solar
Auburn is a strong solar market in Androscoggin County, Maine, located across the Androscoggin River from Lewiston. Central Maine Power (CMP) serves Auburn and offers net metering for residential solar customers. Maine's high electricity rates make solar an excellent investment.
Auburn's suburban neighborhoods and high electricity costs make solar particularly attractive. The federal 30% tax credit and Maine's Efficiency Maine rebate program add further value.
