Residential Solar

When considering residential solar, it’s important to understand the different types of solar panels available:

• Monocrystalline Solar Panels – Known for high efficiency and sleek design, these panels provide superior performance in limited space.
• Polycrystalline Solar Panels – A more cost-effective option, polycrystalline panels are reliable and efficient, though slightly less powerful than monocrystalline panels.
• Thin-Film Solar Panels – Lightweight and flexible, thin-film panels are ideal for certain roof types but may require more space to generate equivalent power.
  

Before installing solar panels, homeowners should evaluate the following factors:

• Roof Suitability – Solar panels perform best on south-facing roofs with minimal shading.
• Energy Needs – Understanding your household’s electricity usage helps determine the right system size.
• Financing Options – Connecticut offers tax incentives, rebates, and solar loan programs to make solar energy more affordable.
• Installation & Maintenance – Professional installation ensures long-term efficiency and minimal upkeep.
  

The cost of a residential solar system varies based on panel type, system size, and financing options. On average, Connecticut homeowners can expect:

• Upfront Costs – A 5kW system typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000 before incentives.
• State & Federal Incentives – The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows homeowners to deduct 30% of installation costs, while Connecticut offers additional rebates and incentives.
• Monthly Savings – A properly installed system can cut electricity bills by 50-100%, with most homeowners seeing a return on investment within 5-7 years.
