Serving New Haven County, CT

Solar Roofs & Solar Panels
for New Haven County.

From dense city housing stock to shoreline towns like Guilford and Madison, New Haven County covers a lot of ground. We design for whichever kind of home and utility territory you're in.

Why New Haven County

City density.
Shoreline towns.

New Haven County stretches from the multi-family housing stock of the city itself out to shoreline towns like Guilford, Madison, and Branford, and inland to Cheshire, Wallingford, and Waterbury. It's also split between two utilities. We adjust the design and the paperwork to match the property, whether that's a triple-decker roof in New Haven or a colonial in Madison.

A county split down the middle.

United Illuminating & Eversource

United Illuminating serves New Haven, West Haven, Hamden, Milford, and most of the coastal shoreline. Eversource serves inland towns like Cheshire, Wallingford, Meriden, and Waterbury. We confirm your utility and manage interconnection either way.

📋

City & Shoreline Permitting

The City of New Haven has its own Department of Building Inspection process, and its historic districts near Yale add another layer of review. Shoreline towns like Guilford and Madison add flood-zone siting rules for ground equipment. We navigate both.

🌊

Dense Housing to Coastal Homes

New Haven's multi-family and triple-decker housing stock calls for compact, code-compliant rooftop design, while shoreline towns need corrosion-resistant hardware. We design for the property type in front of us.

💰

CT RRES & Tax Exemptions

Every New Haven County system we install is enrolled in Connecticut's Residential Renewable Energy Solutions tariff, and the state exempts solar equipment from sales tax and property tax reassessment.

Common Questions

Before you reach out.

Am I served by United Illuminating or Eversource?

It depends on your specific town and sometimes your specific address. United Illuminating generally covers New Haven and the surrounding shoreline; Eversource covers most inland towns. We confirm this early and handle interconnection with whichever applies.

Can you install solar on a multi-family home or triple-decker in New Haven?

Yes. We regularly design compact, code-compliant systems for the city's dense residential housing stock, and we handle the City of New Haven's permitting process as part of the project.

Do shoreline towns like Guilford or Madison have extra requirements?

Some coastal properties fall under flood-zone siting rules that affect ground-mounted equipment placement. We check this during the site assessment and design around it from the start.
