About Solar in Portland
Why Portland Homeowners Are Going Solar
Portland is Maine's largest city and a strong solar market in Cumberland County. Central Maine Power (CMP) serves Portland and offers net metering for residential solar customers. Maine has some of the highest electricity rates in New England at over $0.22/kWh.
Portland's growing progressive community and high electricity rates make solar an excellent investment. The federal 30% tax credit and Maine's Efficiency Maine rebate program add further value.
SunLynk connects Portland homeowners with pre-vetted local solar installers who understand Cumberland County's permitting requirements and CMP's interconnection process.
