Solar Designed for Trumbull Homes

Every roof is different. So is every solar design.

From the established neighborhoods of Nichols and Long Hill to homes in Tashua, Trumbull Center, and the Pinewood Lake area, Trumbull has a wide variety of residential properties.

Some homes have generous roof space and excellent southern exposure. Others have mature trees, complicated rooflines, or specific aesthetic priorities that require more thoughtful planning.

We start by understanding your electricity consumption, roof conditions, shading, and personal goals. Then we develop a system that makes sense for your particular property.

Trumbull Solar Ownership Options

Two ways to go solar. Choose what works for you.

Homeowner ownership and third party ownership are the two primary ways to structure a residential solar installation.

Third Party Owned

We Own.

A Power Purchase Agreement or solar lease allows an eligible homeowner to use solar electricity without purchasing the solar equipment outright.

The third party retains ownership of the solar equipment.
Payment structures depend on the available program and agreement.
Long term service and performance coverage is defined by the agreement.
25 year Solara Solar workmanship warranty.
Eligible battery storage options can be considered.
Homeowner Owned

You Own.

Purchase your solar system directly or finance the purchase through an available lending option while retaining ownership of the equipment.

You own the solar equipment.
Pay upfront or use an available financing option.
Applicable manufacturer equipment warranties.
25 year Solara Solar workmanship warranty.
Add eligible battery storage for backup power.

Not sure which structure makes more sense? We explain the costs, benefits, and tradeoffs of each option without steering you toward a predetermined answer. Explore our solar financing information .

Equipment and Installation Quality

The details matter. Especially the ones you can't see.

Solar equipment should be selected for performance, reliability, and compatibility with your home, rather than simply the lowest upfront equipment cost.

Our designs may include tier one solar panels from manufacturers such as Hyundai, REC, Qcells, and more, paired with Enphase microinverter technology.

We also pay close attention to the roof beneath your panels, the mounting attachments, roof penetrations, electrical connections, and long term serviceability.

Local Solar Information

Trumbull solar permitting, utility approvals, and incentives.

Installing residential solar requires more than putting panels on a roof. Local code requirements and utility approvals are part of the process.

Trumbull Building Department

Trumbull requires building and electrical permits for solar photovoltaic systems. The town also specifies applicable structural documentation and required department signoffs.

Our team coordinates engineering, applicable permits, inspections, and project documentation as part of the installation process.

Ground mounted systems can involve additional local review requirements. We determine which requirements apply to the proposed project.
