SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
If you live in Reading, North Reading, Wilmington, or Lynnfield, your home is powered by the Reading Municipal Light Department (RMLD). Dealing with a municipal utility (MLP) means different rules compared to investor-owned grids like Eversource or National Grid. Here is what you need to know about going solar under RMLD.
Because RMLD is a municipal light plant, customers are typically exempt from the MA SMART program. However, to encourage solar adoption, the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) offers a specific Municipal Light Plant Solar Rebate Program. RMLD participates in this program, offering direct rebates to offset your installation costs. RMLD also provides its own specific net metering policies, crediting you for excess generation.
RMLD has specific guidelines regarding system sizing to ensure grid stability in its service area. SunBeam Innovations works directly within RMLD's operational guidelines. We ensure your system is optimized to offset your household usage without violating municipal generation caps, protecting your ROI and ensuring full compliance.
Our operations team is highly experienced in dealing with Massachusetts MLPs. We handle the local permitting, the RMLD interconnection agreements, and all necessary municipal inspections, ensuring your transition to solar is completely frictionless and you receive your DOER rebates.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
