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.
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.
Free-standing arrays sized to farms, lake properties, and larger rural lots across the county.
Experience navigating the National Register district's strict review of exterior and roof-mounted changes.
Net metering and utility interconnection handled directly with Eversource, which serves the entire county.
Systems engineered around barns, outbuildings, and lake-adjacent land near Bantam Lake and Lake Waramaug.
Eversource is the sole utility across Litchfield County. We manage net metering enrollment and interconnection directly with them for every system we install here.
The Borough of Litchfield's National Register historic district applies strict review to exterior changes, including roof-mounted solar. On properties within the district, ground-mount is often the more practical path, and we can tell you quickly which applies to yours.
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.
Connecticut's Residential Renewable Energy Solutions tariff and the state's sales and property tax exemptions on solar equipment apply the same in Litchfield County as anywhere else in the state.

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.
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.
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.
