So, you’re wondering, “Can I get solar on Nantucket?” Short answer: yes! Longer answer: absolutely, and we’re here to make it as easy as possible. Solar on Nantucket isn’t just doable—it’s incredibly practical. But hey, we get it; the questions are endless, so we’re tackling them head-on in a way that’s as clear as a sunny day in July.
1. Can I get solar on Nantucket even with the fog?
Fog, schmog! While Nantucket may get a little misty, solar panels are more than capable of doing their job here. Thanks to some impressive technology (think: panels designed to absorb even indirect sunlight), you’re still collecting energy even when the island’s skies go a bit gray. At ACK Smart, we’ve seen Nantucket panels go strong through all four seasons, from fog to clear skies.
2. Will solar panels make my roof look like a science project?
Absolutely not. We’ve worked hard to make sure solar panels blend with the unique Nantucket aesthetic—because we know that keeping your home looking classic is part of what makes this island so charming. Our team installs sleek, low-profile panels that won’t shout “Look, science!” but instead whisper, “Hey, I’m saving energy.” Plus, our local crew has an eye for blending panels into your roofline, so they look like they were always meant to be there.
3. How does solar work with all the historic homes here?
Ah, the beauty of Nantucket’s historic charm. Believe us, we’re all about preserving that. Installing solar on historic properties is something we handle with care and expertise. We work with each property to ensure we’re following any and all guidelines, so you get the benefits of solar without disrupting any piece of that Nantucket character. (Also, we know people who know people—let’s just say we’re experienced in navigating local approvals.)
4. What happens in the winter?
When winter rolls in, your panels keep producing, just like your favorite year-round island haunts. Sure, sunlight hours are a little shorter, but the panels are highly efficient and can still produce electricity even on cloudy days. Plus, if snow covers the panels (rare on Nantucket, but hey, it happens), they’re designed for easy shedding. So, no, your panels won’t go on a winter hibernation like the tourists.
5. Is solar really worth it on Nantucket?
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that energy on Nantucket can get… pricey. By generating your own electricity, you’re offsetting those hefty bills with the island’s abundant sunshine. And considering Nantucket’s isolated energy grid, every bit of local, renewable energy makes a big difference. Our team at ACK Smart has seen clients not only enjoy reduced bills but also feel a serious sense of satisfaction knowing they’re contributing to a sustainable future for the island.
