Business Quote: \u201cThe benefits of solar power systems are no longer a matter of opinion. Solar power is clean, efficient, reduces carbon emissions, and cuts costs for anyone who utilizes it. Read the most popular questions we get from our customers about Solar Panels and then contact us for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: Great looking website, doesn\u2019t overload you with information but gives you what you need to know, lots of good reviews out there<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: 3 complaints with the BBB<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: Despite a few bad reviews out there and a few complaints with the BBB, CTEC keeps coming up as one of the top solar companies in Connecticut no matter how research it. This is a definite one to look into, especially given their fairly centralized location, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ll service anybody in the state of CT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: Premier Improvements Solar <\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: West Hartford, CT<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: ?? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/www.premierimprovementsone.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 4.5 \/ 5 Solar Reviews, 5 \/ 5 Facebook (17 reviews), 5 \/ 5 Energy Sage (6 Reviews)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cWe will guide you through from one step to next. We constantly strive to surpass the expected allowing us to always extend our utmost on behalf of the customers. All of our Customers love us and you will too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: Great reviews! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: Cannot find this company on the BBB website<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: Another great looking company. Website is sharp, it says all the right things and offers all the normal services that come along with solar companies. I could not find this company on the BBB website, so it\u2019s hard for me to give a complete review without checking into that. I will say that from what I can see, they look like a very solid company to do business with, so this one goes on the list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: Solar City CT<\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 714 Brook St Ste 150, Rocky Hill, CT 06067<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: ??<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/energizect.com\/solar-city<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 4.3 \/ 5 Birdseye (8 reviews), 5 \/ 5 Angi (2 reviews), 4.5 \/ 5 Facebook (5 reviews), 1.25 \/ 5 Better Business Bureau (250 reviews)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cUse solar energy to power your home and reduce your dependence on the grid. Purchase solar at the lowest price of any national provider with Tesla’s price match guarantee<\/a> and take control of your monthly electricity bill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: Mostly good reviews for the local CT branch<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: 2028 complaints with the BBB for the national brand, holy moly<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: So this one is a little different- Solar City is Tesla\u2019s solar power division. They are a national brand with branches in many cities across the country, so you have an idea of what you\u2019re getting when dealing with them. Unfortunately, the national brand has gotten a large number of complaints with the BBB for a litany of reasons, which doesn\u2019t exactly give you resounding confidence. The Rocky Hill branch though seems to have outstanding reviews, so I wouldn\u2019t judge them too harshly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: Last Stop Solar <\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 71 Raymond Rd, West Hartford, CT 06107<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: Unclear<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/www.laststopsolar.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 5 \/5 Facebook (15 reviews), <\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cThe industry is primarily full of \u201csummer sales reps\u201d that only sell for a couple months of the year, and then go back to college. This makes it very difficult to stay informed with all the moving parts involved with the solar industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have broken free from the \u201cstandard\u201d solar business model, and put you, the homeowner first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: 100% positive reviews (that I can find)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: Sparse internet presence<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: This is another one of those companies that has plenty of good reviews from their own Facebook page, they have a nice looking website that has all the usual information, and it also does a great job explaining the process of installation that many other solar companies don\u2019t go into. The only red flag here is that I just can\u2019t find much else about them out there, so you\u2019re going to basically have to take their word for it that they\u2019re the best choice. So as always: Do your research! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: SAVKAT Solar <\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 36 Triano Dr, Southington, CT 06489<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: Unclear<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/savkat.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 4.5 \/ 5 Facebook (6 reviews), 4.7 \/ 5 SolarReviews (37 reviews), 5 \/ 5 Energysage (1 review)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cOver the years we have grown to include solar customers in five states. We have always been driven by customer interactions and focused on informing and empowering smart decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: Website says they have a 5 state range and they have a good number of positive reviews<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: Could not find them on the BBB website<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: Another great looking company with lots of positive reviews and very few negatives. Their website offers a \u201c2 minute estimator\u201d to help potential customers sort out how much their solar installation may cost, which is an interesting feature, as well as a really neat looking gallery of their past work. One of my favorite things about the site is that it makes it very clear that their service area extends across 5 states. Overall this company looks like another good one to get in touch with if you\u2019re exploring the possibility of solar panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: Earthlight Technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 92 West Rd, Ellington, CT 06029<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/www.earthlighttech.com\/testimonials<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 4.2 \/ 5 SolarReviews (19 reviews), BBB 5 \/ 5 (2 reviews), 4.5 \/ 5 SunSolarCompany (79 reviews), 5 \/ 5 Facebook (20 reviews)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cAt Earthlight, our goal is to provide customers with the highest quality products, performance, consistency, and value. This commitment is rooted in our culture and is essential to our continued growth and success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: BBB accredited, lots of web presence & good reviews, 14 years in business<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: They do have 1 complaint with the BBB, but that\u2019s really nothing to worry about<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: This is one of the most impressive companies I\u2019ve seen. From their website, their reviews and their overall web presence, there is lots of good out there about this company. The company is family owned and has a great website with lots of information. I see virtually no red flags or negatives about this company to keep you from contacting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Company Eco Smart Home Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 105A Clark Dr, East Berlin, CT 06023<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: https:\/\/www.ecosmartct.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 4.5 \/ 5 Facebook (10 reviews), 1 \/ 5 BBB (3 reviews)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cSun on your roof means money in your pockets!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: That quote screams capitalism and will appeal to most people<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: A lot of complaints about the national brand<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: The entire focus of this company\u2019s website is about saving & making money, and I\u2019m ok with that. Going solar for most people is all about the money they\u2019ll save and possibly earn in it, and this company tries to focus on that. Ecosmart is a national brand with multiple offices all across the country, so some of the complaints (probably most) about them are going to come from customers in other places, and you have to expect a certain amount when dealing with a big national brand like this. Still, a 1 \/ 5 star review on the BBB website does not bode well. Again, I\u2019m not telling you to stay away from Ecosmart in any way, but make sure you check out your local office thoroughly before making a decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n :<\/p>\n\n\n\n Company: PurePoint Energy <\/p>\n\n\n\n Address: 22 S Smith St, Norwalk, CT 06855<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years in Business: Unclear<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: http:\/\/www.purepointenergy.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews: 5 \/ 5 Facebook (18 reviews), 5 \/ 5 Glassdoor (6 reviews), 4.5 \/ 5 SolarReviews (26 reviews)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Business Quote: \u201cThroughout the years, the plan remains the same: To leave the world a better place, making an environmental impact that will make our planet a safer place to live. This is accomplished by building the best solar and energy storage solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good: Moderate web presence; What they do have is good<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bad: Not BBB accredited<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary: Great looking website, really good reviews, hard to find anything negative to point out about this company. About the worst thing I can see is that they\u2019re not BBB accredited, which is actually fairly common. Overall though this looks like a company that does solid work, as their testimonials and reviews will show, so I see no reason not to take a look at this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much do solar panels cost in Connecticut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the best part- Connecticut has some of the best solar rates in the whole country. Solar panels are generally priced by the watt, so a 250 watt solar panel (which is the standard size) in Connecticut may cost as little as $2.28 per watt- about $570 per panel. An average solar installation is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 28 watts, meaning your solar panel cost could be as low as $11,400- Over a thousand dollars cheaper than in many other states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many states have various incentives for going solar, and Connecticut is no different. Here\u2019s just a few of the bonuses you might need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I\u2019ve presented some companies above and given you a few snippets about them, but in the end you\u2019re the one who\u2019s going to have to live with the company you choose. So what do you need to look for in a solar company? Here\u2019s a few suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solar power in Connecticut? Really? Yes, really! You may thing CT doesn’t have enough sun for solar power, but I hope by the end of this article I can convince you otherwise! There are some outstanding solar companies in Connecticut, maybe more than in any other state, and in this article we\u2019re going to take… Continue reading Best Solar Companies in CT<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-solar-installation","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":975,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions\/975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wgsi.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}CTEC is the authority in Solar Power Systems.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
