Connecticut is one of the brightest spots in America, thanks in part to its strong push for residential solar adoption. The Constitution states that homeowners can benefit from multiple financial incentives when they invest in home solar. These include Federal Income Tax Credit, Net Metering, Property Tax Exemptions, and so on. These incentives are available to homeowners in many other states too. Despite these incentives, solar adoption continues to be an investment that requires thorough financial considerations. To make it easier for the state’s homeowners to go solar, the Connecticut Green Bank is offering attractive financing options that further sweeten the deal for them.
Stamford homeowners can benefit from these solar rebates without putting in a substantial cash investment upfront.
