AI Summary
This bill establishes a Commonwealth Solar Program to encourage the development of solar photovoltaic technology by residential, commercial, governmental, and industrial electric customers in Massachusetts. The program aims to achieve 17.5% solar electricity by 2025 and 25% solar electricity by 2030, measured by the sale of retail electricity to end-use customers. The bill also amends the state's renewable energy portfolio standard to increase the required percentage of renewable energy sales every year until 2019, and then by 3% annually thereafter. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum amount of generating capacity eligible for net metering by a municipality or other governmental entity from 2 megawatts to 10 megawatts.
