Why Go Solar in Stratford?

Stratford homeowners face some of the highest electricity bills in Connecticut, with Fairfield County rates from United Illuminating averaging around 30¢/kWh. The proximity to NYC drives costs up — but also makes solar ROI exceptional. CT's retail-rate net metering, 6.35% sales tax exemption, and 100% property tax exemption create one of the strongest solar incentive environments in New England.

A typical Stratford 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.
