Insight Energy Residential Solar Installation in Thompson, CT
FEATURED PROJECT
Return to All Projects
About This Solar Thompson, CT Project
This Thompson homeowner partnered with Insight Energy Systems, one of Connecticut’s best solar companies, to install solar panels 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 and reduce their electricity costs long‑term.
With Eversource CT’s high utility rates and an expected 4% annual increase, this system’s 12,200 kWh annual production is designed to offset the home’s electric bill entirely. Under Connecticut’s Net Metering program, excess solar power produced during sunny months rolls over as credits for winter use — keeping savings consistent year‑round. Owning the system also made them eligible for the federal tax credit and local incentives that reduced upfront costs and improved their payback period.
Insight Energy Systems, a certified solar installer in Connecticut, managed every step of the process — from the required state energy evaluation and permits to solar panel installation and final activation through Eversource.
