Why Go Solar in New London County?

New London County is served by Eversource with rates around 30¢/kWh. New London County's coastal location means excellent sun exposure, a natural fit for residential solar. CT's 6.35% sales tax exemption alone saves $1,500–$2,500 on a typical system.

A typical home with an 8–10 kW system generates roughly 9,000–12,000 kWh a year, enough to cover most of an average household's use. What it actually saves you depends on your roof, your usage, and your rate, which is exactly what we pin down before you commit. One thing changed in 2026: the 30% federal credit now reaches homeowners only through a prepaid lease, and Connecticut's state and local incentives stack on top. We walk you through which path fits your home.
