Massachusetts Community Solar Program
Massachusetts was the first state to establish a specific program, financial support, and requirements for agrivoltaics in the country. While interconnection and siting constraints hinder expeditious development of preferred siting methods like agrivoltaics, Lightstar is engaging in regulatory and administrative proceedings, such as the Commission on Agrivoltaics, to help support community solar resources.
Update - December 2024: Massachusetts was the first state to establish a specific program, financial support, and requirements for agrivoltaics in the country. While interconnection and siting constraints hinder expeditious development of preferred siting methods like agrivoltaics, Lightstar is engaging in regulatory and administrative proceedings, such as the revisions proposed by the Department of Energy Resources to the SMART program rules, to help support community solar resources.
