New Hampshire solar leads

How much sun Manchester gets

Manchester is New Hampshire’s largest city by the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 estimates. The PVWatts Calculator, first built at NREL and now maintained by the National Laboratory of the Rockies, puts the solar radiation reaching an array there at 4.55 kWh per square meter per day (checked October 9, 2026).

The method, briefly: PVWatts version 8 run with its default fixed array (open rack, facing south, 20-degree tilt) at Manchester’s Census gazetteer location, on typical-year weather from the National Solar Radiation Database. Use it to compare places, not to predict what a specific roof will see.

New Hampshire net metering

The New Hampshire Department of Energy’s net metering page explains that net metering rests on RSA 362-A and the Puc 900 administrative rules (checked October 9, 2026). For residential and small commercial customers the equipment is limited to 100 kW AC of peak generating capacity, located behind the customer’s meter, interconnected with the grid and used mainly to offset the customer’s own use. Larger facilities may go to 1,000 kW, and political subdivisions to 5,000 kW. The page also notes that state law limits how much customer generation can net meter in each utility’s service area, so availability is checked with the utility.

The Department’s Net Metering Tariff 2023 Overview compares two tariffs. The standard tariff, NEM 1.0, applies to systems from before September 1, 2017; the alternative tariff, NEM 2.0, applies from that date. For a system of 100 kW AC or less under NEM 2.0, exported power earns full credit for the default service (energy) and transmission parts of the bill, 25% credit for distribution, and no credit for system benefits, stranded cost or storm recovery charges, which are applied to all imported kWh (as of October 9, 2026).

At the end of each billing cycle, NEM 2.0 converts leftover kWh to a monetary credit that carries forward on the bill, where NEM 1.0 carried the net kWh themselves. Above 100 kW, both tariffs credit only the default service portion. The Department adds that compensation depends on project details, so the serving utility’s tariff is the place to confirm terms.

New Hampshire solar rebates: status

The Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy Rebates page lists the Residential Renewable Electrical Generation Rebate Program as permanently closed. Senate Bill 303 of 2024 repealed RSA 362-F:10, V through VII and IX, the parts that set up the residential small renewable generation incentive payments, and applications pending before the closure are still processed. The page adds that, under HB 2 of 2025, all of the Department’s rebate programs are closed to new projects until further notice (checked October 9, 2026).

The Department says it will review new program ideas with stakeholders and post any new program on its site. This page states no rebate amount.

All ten New Hampshire counties by owner-occupied detached homes

New Hampshire has ten counties, and all of them are listed, ordered by owner-occupied single-family detached homes, with each county’s owner-occupied homes and the detached share. Source: ACS 5-year 2020-2024, table B25032 at county level. The table reports housing and nothing about where leads come from.

Hillsborough and Rockingham, the two southern counties, hold 171,809 of the state’s owner-occupied detached homes in the 2020-2024 ACS county data, more than half of the total. The smaller counties to the north and west have the higher detached shares, with Carroll at 87.5% and Sullivan at 87.0%.

What New Hampshire solar buyers filter on

Solar buyers in New Hampshire tend to filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary on a few lead fields, tied to the facts on this page:

• Homeowner status: the owner decides on a roof system and signs for net metering; see the owner-occupied detached homes above.
• Project type: the kind of solar project the homeowner asked about, in general terms; the exact options are set when the solar form is finalized.
• Timeframe: whether the homeowner plans to install soon or is researching.
• ZIP code: the towns an installer reaches, using the county table to see where detached owner homes are.

The filters for New Hampshire solar leads are agreed with each buyer during onboarding. Exclusive or shared routing for solar leads is agreed with each buyer during onboarding. The sample solar lead lists the fields.
