Solar Companies in Connecticut

Connecticut may be a small state, but it punches well above its weight in residential solar adoption. With some of the highest electricity rates in the nation - averaging over $0.25/kWh - the economic case for solar is compelling despite the state's moderate sunshine levels of around 3.8 peak sun hours daily.

Eversource and United Illuminating, the state's two investor-owned utilities, both participate in net metering at full retail rates. Connecticut's Residential Solar Investment Program (RSIP), administered through the Green Bank, has been one of the most successful state incentive programs, offering performance-based incentives that complement the federal tax credit.

Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford are the leading solar markets. With high electricity costs offsetting moderate solar irradiance, Connecticut homeowners frequently achieve payback periods of 6-9 years, making it one of the best solar ROI states in the Northeast.
