Introduced Text

Encourages solar development on buildings and disturbed land in Massachusetts.

This bill seeks to encourage solar development on buildings and disturbed land in Massachusetts by amending definitions and creating incentives. It allows larger solar net metering facilities on built land, defines "disturbed land" as areas affected by human activity, and mandates the Department of Energy Resources to adjust solar energy incentives based on market conditions. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center is directed to create incentives for roof repairs or replacements as part of rooftop solar projects.
