FEATURED Project
Insight Energy Residential Solar Installation in Thompson, CT
Return to All Projects
Introducing the Project
This Thompson homeowner decided to install solar on both of their properties — choosing to own the system on one home and lease the other to experience the benefits of each. For this property, they selected a cash purchase, allowing them to capture the full financial return of ownership.
With Eversource CT’s high utility rates and an expected 4% annual rate increase, this system’s 12,200 kWh annual production is designed to offset most of the home’s electricity usage. Under Connecticut’s Net Metering program, excess solar generation in high‑production months rolls over as credits for the winter, ensuring consistent savings year‑round.
Insight Energy Systems, a certified Connecticut installer, managed the full project from the required state energy evaluation to final activation.
