Massachusetts S2161 requires state agencies to install solar energy systems in new constructions or renovations costing over $25,000. The system must meet the building's annual electricity demand, either on the roof or on the ground, unless exempted. Exemptions apply if a substitute renewable energy system is installed or if the effective solar area is too small. The bill defines terms like "effective solar area" and "solar energy system" to clarify its provisions.
