About Solar in Bangor
Why Bangor Homeowners Are Going Solar
Bangor is Maine's third-largest city and a strong solar market in Penobscot County. Versant Power serves Bangor and offers net metering for residential solar customers. Maine's high electricity rates make solar an excellent investment.
Bangor's growing residential base and high electricity costs make solar particularly attractive. Note: the 30% federal ITC expired December 31, 2025. Maine's Efficiency Maine rebate program add further value.
