Connecticut homeowners face some of the steepest electricity rates in the United States. Utilities like Eversource and United Illuminating (UI) have raised rates multiple times in recent years, leaving families with monthly electric bills that keep climbing. For many households, the question is no longer whether solar makes sense — it is how soon they can make the switch.
Pairing a new roof with solar panels is especially smart in Connecticut, where aging roofs take a beating from nor'easters, coastal storms, and heavy winter snow. A roof + solar bundle protects your home while generating clean energy that offsets those rising utility costs. Adding a battery backup system means you stay powered even when severe weather brings down the grid.
Connecticut's Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (RRES) program is a tariff-based program administered through PURA, Eversource, and United Illuminating. Homeowners may choose a Netting tariff that provides bill credits for solar energy or a Buy-All tariff that pays a fixed per-kWh production rate over a multi-year term. Rates and eligibility depend on the current utility tariff, so contact Sol NE for current numbers rather than relying on a published statewide rate.
Eligible systems may also receive Connecticut's 6.35% sales tax exemption and permanent property tax exemption. New systems enrolling beginning in 2026 are also subject to a small per-kWh Solar Energy Adjustment grid charge. Sol NE can compare current RRES terms with cash, loan, lease, and PPA options for your property.
Potential savings depend on energy use, utility rates, system design, financing, and available programs.
A properly sized system may reduce electricity purchased from the grid. Actual savings vary by home and utility.
Solar may affect a home's market value, but results vary by system ownership, condition, location, and buyer preferences.
Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to Connecticut's renewable energy goals.
