Solar power in Vermont

[2] A 2012 estimate suggests that a typical 5 kW system costing $25,000 before credits and utility savings will pay for itself in 10 years, and generate a profit of $34,956 over the rest of its 25-year life.

[3] Net metering is available for up to at least 500 kW generation, but is capped at 15% of utilities peak demand.

[25] As of 2019, Green Mountain Power (GMP) has further constructed several solar arrays as large as 5 MW.

A small-scale 15KW installation at a homestead in middle Vermont generated 19,480 kWh of electrical energy at a Capacity Factor of 0.15.

[34] These non-utility-scale appraisals evaluate that Vermont generated the following amounts of additional solar energy:
