A solar advisor who works for you, the homeowner
Most people guiding a Connecticut homeowner through solar are paid to sell a specific product. SolarPro Lab isn't. We're your independent solar advocate, here to help you compare vetted installers, read the fine print, and decide for yourself. You choose who installs, and we never sell your information.
Why Connecticut homeowners need an advocate
Connecticut has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, around 30 cents per kilowatt-hour and second only to Hawaii among the states.[1]That's exactly why solar math works here, and exactly why the sales pressure is so intense. Where there's real money to save, there are also companies hoping you won't read too closely.
This isn't hypothetical. Connecticut's Attorney General has sued solar companies over deceptive and unlawful sales practices, from forged signatures to undisclosed terms.[2] An independent advisor is how you capture the savings without becoming one of those complaints.
What your advisor actually does
When you book with SolarPro Lab, you pick how you want to be helped. Either way, you choose who you work with.
A dedicated advisor walks you through the best options for your home from the installers we vet and stand behind, explains the strengths and weaknesses of each, and reads the contract with you, flagging escalators and buyout clauses before you sign. In person if you're in Connecticut.
Prefer to run it yourself? We share your information with a small set of vetted installers we picked for you, and they take it from there. You compare and decide. No pile of cold calls from companies that bought your number.
Why you can trust the advice
You never write SolarPro Lab a check, and there's no sales pitch waiting at the end. We have no reason to steer you toward one company over another, so we're free to tell you the truth. Our only job is to help you pick well, and you decide who you work with.
Solar itself isn't free, of course. It's a substitute for the utility bill you already pay, and at Connecticut rates the solar payment usually lands below the bill it replaces. The honest framing is simple: you swap a higher bill for a lower one that builds equity.
