☀️ The 5 Most Common Myths About Going Solar in Connecticut.

 

 

 


When it comes to solar, there’s no shortage of misinformation, especially here in Connecticut, where energy costs are high and homeowners see countless “free solar” ads. At Solara Solar, we believe in facts, not fluff. So, let’s clear the air about what solar really means for Connecticut homeowners and why now is still the smartest time to make the switch.


🌤️ Myth #1: “Solar doesn’t work in Connecticut’s climate.”

Truth: Solar panels thrive in all four New England seasons.

Even with cloudy days and winter snow, Connecticut’s annual sunlight is more than enough to power your home efficiently.
Modern, high-efficiency panels like Hyundai HD, QCell North America and REC, perform exceptionally well in cooler weather and diffuse light.

BOTTOM LINE = Solar works in every Connecticut season, and cooler temperatures actually boost panel efficiency.


⚡️ Myth #2: “You need to pay a lot upfront to go solar.”

Truth: Not anymore, there are affordable, even no-cost options for everyone.

With programs like the CT Green Bank Smart-E Loan and Solara Solar’s no-cost solar offerings, many homeowners switch to solar with zero upfront cost. In most cases, your new, significantly lower, tax free solar monthly payment simply replaces your old, ever changing, ever increasing utility bill.

BOTTOM LINE = Solar ownership in Connecticut is easier and more affordable than ever.


💸 Myth #3: “The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit is ending, so solar isn’t worth it anymore.”

Truth: The tax credit is phasing down gradually, not vanishing overnight.

With that being said, even without the 30% Federal ITC, homeowners in Connecticut still see strong returns, typically 6–10 years to payback with 20+ years of bill savings and cost cutting ahead. Combine that with the vulnerability of electricity rates and local financing programs available to qualified homeowner, solar continues to be one of the smartest home investments available.

BOTTOM LINE = : Of course the 30% credit helps, but the long-term math still works strongly in your favor.


🔧 Myth #4: “Once solar is installed, you’re on your own.”

Truth: Not when you go solar with a local company.

BOTTOM LINE = Local support = long-term peace of mind.


🏡 Myth #5: “Solar makes it harder to sell your home.”

Truth: Solar actually increases property value.

Studies from Zillow and the U.S. Department of Energy show that homes with owned solar systems sell for more — and faster — than comparable homes without solar.Buyers love low electric bills, premium energy equipment, and the confidence that comes with working with a reputable installer like Solara Solar.

BOTTOM LINE = Solar is a home improvement that pays dividends, both now and when you sell.
