National Grid’s Fruit Belt Neighborhood Solar Demonstration Project consisted of installing 74 rooftop solar PV systems totaling 500 kW of generation capacity within a single low- and moderate-income neighborhood. Systems were installed on residential houses (69), faith-based non-profit organization buildings (3) and community non-profit buildings (2) located within the Project area. All solar PV systems were connected “in front of the meter,” meaning the power generated goes directly into the distribution grid, not the home or structure hosting the PV system. Because the installations are in front of the meter, participating customers do not need to be net metered. Participants receive an approximately $15 monthly credit to their electric bills. National Grid owns, services, and maintains the systems for 25 years.
