Serving Litchfield County, CT

Solar for
Connecticut's Northwest Corner.

Litchfield County's farms, lake homes, and larger lots make it some of the best ground-mount solar territory in the state, and its historic districts require a careful hand. We bring both.

Why Litchfield County

Rural land.
Real options.

Litchfield County is the most rural territory we serve, and that's an advantage: larger lots and open land throughout towns like Washington, Kent, and New Milford make ground-mount solar a genuinely strong option, often a better one than the roof. Litchfield's own historic district, one of the strictest in the state, is the exception, where ground-mount is frequently the practical answer to begin with.

Open acreage throughout towns like Washington, Kent, and New Milford supports larger, better-oriented ground-mount arrays than most roofs can match, particularly on working farms and larger rural parcels.

Common Questions

Before you reach out.

Is ground-mount solar a better fit than roof-mount in Litchfield County?

Very often, yes, especially on farms and larger rural parcels with open, sun-exposed land. We evaluate both roof-mount and ground-mount during the site assessment and recommend whichever actually produces more for your usage.

My property is in the Borough of Litchfield's historic district. Can I still get solar?

Usually, though roof-mounted systems face stricter review. Ground-mount installations, sited away from the primary building's visible elevations, are frequently the more workable option within the district. We'll walk your property and tell you what's realistic.

Which utility serves Litchfield County?

Eversource serves the entire county, so there's no ambiguity about interconnection the way there can be in Fairfield or New Haven County. We handle that process directly with them.
