Frequently asked questions
How much does solar cost in New Haven County?
Most homeowners see quotes between $2.90 and $3.40 per watt before incentives. An average 8 kW system runs roughly $24,000–$27,000; Connecticut's RRES tariff payments then work that cost down over time.
Does Connecticut still have net metering?
Connecticut replaced classic net metering with the Residential Renewable Energy Solutions program: you choose a buy-all or netting tariff with rates locked for 20 years — installers will model both options in your quotes.
Is my roof too shaded for solar?
Inland New Haven County lots can be wooded, but installers use satellite shade analysis before quoting. Getting multiple bids matters here — different panel layouts and equipment handle shade very differently.
