How to Save on Energy with Solar

Discover how high-efficiency solar panels can drastically reduce your monthly utility bills. Connecticut homeowners are increasingly turning to solar as Eversource rates continue to rise.

Why Solar Makes Sense in Connecticut

Connecticut has some of the highest electricity rates in the continental United States, making the return on a solar investment faster than the national average. A properly sized system can offset 80 to 100 percent of annual usage.

Key Incentives Available

  • CT Green Bank Smart-E Loan: Low-interest financing for qualifying homeowners
  • Eversource and UI Net Metering: Credit for excess power sent back to the grid
