Reuse Energy Powers Connecticut
Take Advantage of Connecticut New Incentives
Solar Panel Installation In Connecticut
More Connecticotians than ever are choosing to invest in solar systems to power their homes. The recent uptick in solar installations is hardly a surprise, given the high cost of electricity in Connecticut and excellent incentives that allow homeowners to install a solar system with minimal upfront cost.
In 2017, Connecticut households spent an
average of $139.97 per month on electricity
. Energy costs in Connecticut are higher than the rest of New England and amongst the highest in the United States. Electricity prices are not expected to improve either. Industry experts are warning residents of Connecticut to prepare for
sharp increases in energy costs in
the next decade.
In a plan to offset the rising cost of electricity, Connecticut lawmakers have created a number of incentives to help homeowners control their energy costs by going solar. Solar panels aren’t just for the wealthy either – there are several options available that allow you to get solar panels installed on your home for $0 out of pocket. At Momentum Solar, we are here to help you navigate these incentives and make your transition to renewable solar energy as simple as possible.
How It Works
You’ve probably seen solar panels popping up more frequently around your neighborhood and wondered about how it all works. Luckily, the switch to solar and understanding how solar energy works is simple.
When sunlight hits the photovoltaic (PV) panels, electrons become excited, creating a direct current (DC) of electricity. This current is fed into an inverter, which converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity so it can be used by appliances in your home.
Connecticuts’ net metering policy allows property owners to send electricity generated by their solar panel system onto the grid and receive credit on future electric bills for excess energy produced by the system… Then, come winter, they can use those credits to keep their monthly electricity costs low.
