Solar Installation in Connecticut: FAQs

Common questions from Connecticut homeowners considering solar.

How much does a solar installation cost in Connecticut?
A typical Connecticut home solar system runs roughly $15,000-$30,000 before incentives, depending on roof size, panel selection, and whether you add battery storage. Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E financing can spread that cost into low-interest monthly payments, and at current Connecticut electric rates most homes see payback in roughly 9 to 11 years.
How long does solar installation take in Connecticut?
Most residential solar projects take 1-3 months end-to-end. The on-roof install itself is usually 1-3 days; the bulk of the timeline is permitting, utility interconnection paperwork with Eversource or United Illuminating, and town inspections. West Electric manages all of it for you.
What incentives are available for going solar in Connecticut?
The main programs are Connecticut Green Bank Smart-E low-interest financing and net metering / Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (RRES) credits through Eversource and United Illuminating. We walk every customer through which programs apply to their project.
Does West Electric handle utility interconnection with Eversource and United Illuminating?
Yes. We file all interconnection paperwork, schedule the utility witness inspection, and coordinate permission to operate (PTO) on your behalf. You do not deal with the utility - we do.
What permits do I need for a residential solar install in Connecticut?
Solar in Connecticut requires a town building permit, an electrical permit, and utility interconnection approval. Your town's exact timeline varies. West Electric pulls all permits and walks each one through inspection.
What warranties come with a West Electric solar installation?
Panel and inverter manufacturer warranties (typically 25 years on panels and 10-25 years on inverters depending on brand), a West Electric workmanship warranty on the installation, and a roof penetration warranty. See our warranties page for current terms.
