Connecticut solar guide
Find a verified solar installer in New Haven County, CT
New Haven County stretches from the harbor city and shoreline towns to the Naugatuck Valley. A free satellite roof check gives you a first look before you talk with verified, licensed installers.
What is different about New Haven County
New Haven County combines a dense urban core, shoreline communities, and hillier valley towns. Multi-family houses are common in some neighborhoods, and hills and trees can change sun exposure quickly from one lot to the next.
The county is served by more than one electric provider. United Illuminating serves the New Haven area, Eversource serves other parts, and some towns have their own municipal electric service. Your electric bill will tell you which applies to you.
Because the utility can differ from town to town, ask any installer how they handle interconnection with your specific utility and what timeline they expect.

Things to ask any installer
- Can I see your Connecticut license and proof of insurance?
- Will you provide an itemized written quote and explain how the system size was chosen?
- Who does the work: your own employees or subcontractors?
- Who handles permits and utility interconnection, and how long does it usually take?
- What warranties do I get in writing, and who honors them?

Frequently asked questions
Does Solar Entry install solar panels in New Haven County?
No. Solar Entry does not install. We offer a free satellite roof check and help New Haven County homeowners choose verified, licensed installers, including Infinity Solar, an installer partner in New York and Connecticut.
Which utility serves New Haven County?
More than one. United Illuminating serves the New Haven area, Eversource serves other towns, and some towns have municipal electric service. Check your bill and confirm details with your utility.
What if my home is a two- or three-family house?
Multi-family ownership and metering can complicate solar, including how the electricity is shared. Talk with installers about your metering setup and check with your utility before planning.
Do hills and trees make solar harder here?
They can affect sun exposure. Slopes and tree cover change shading, so the roof check and an on-site assessment are worth doing rather than assuming.
How can I tell if an installer is properly licensed?
Ask for their Connecticut license information and verify it with the state's licensing records. Also ask for proof of insurance and written warranties.
Are there Connecticut incentives for New Haven County homeowners?
Statewide programs and exemptions have been available to Connecticut homeowners, but terms change. Our incentives guide explains what to look up and where to verify it.
