Solar Incentives in Connecticut
Between federal tax credits, state net metering programs, and battery rebates, there has never been a more cost-effective time to upgrade your home's energy system in CT.
30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
The Residential Clean Energy Credit allows you to deduct 30% of the total cost of your solar energy system from your federal taxes. This applies to solar panels, battery backups, and often the labor and electrical panel upgrades required to install them.
Note: You must have tax liability to claim this credit, and it rolls over to future years if you can't use it all in year one.
Connecticut Net Metering (Tariff Program)
When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home is using, the excess power is sent back to the grid. Eversource and UI provide credits for this excess energy under the state's Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (RRES) program. You can choose a "Buy-All" or "Net Billing" structure to maximize your savings year-round.
Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) Program
Connecticut offers massive upfront and performance-based incentives for homeowners who install battery backup systems (like Tesla Powerwall). The program helps grid reliability during peak times, and in exchange, you can significantly reduce the upfront cost of your battery installation.
Property & Sales Tax Exemptions
Adding solar increases the value of your home, but thanks to CT state law, your property taxes will not go up as a result of installing a renewable energy system. Furthermore, solar and battery systems are 100% exempt from Connecticut state sales tax!
