Why Go Solar in Orange?

Orange homeowners pay around 30¢/kWh on average — whether served by United Illuminating or Eversource. New Haven County's strong sunlight hours and CT's robust incentive stack make it one of the best solar markets in Connecticut.

A typical Orange home with an 8–10 kW solar system can generate 9,000–12,000 kWh per year — often covering 80–100% of annual electricity needs. Modern tier-one panels operate at 20–22% efficiency with 25-year performance warranties. With Connecticut's incentive stack, your total out-of-pocket cost after incentives is often 30–50% lower than the system price.
