Use the free estimator for a preliminary layout, or share your preferred response method with the commercial team. Final feasibility still requires site, utility, and engineering review.
Plan roof, ground-mount, or carport solar from the property's real load, utility tariff, site constraints, and current program rules. In Connecticut, NuWatt's in-house engineers design and install the project — a direct EPC, not a lead reseller.

Connecticut commercial quote path
NuWatt's commercial estimator can return a preliminary roof layout, system size, annual production range, and confidence grade from one Connecticutproperty address before contact details. A final EPC quote still requires the facility's load, tariff, site and engineering scope, interconnection review, and confirmed program and financing eligibility.

The Section 48E begin-construction window closed July 4, 2026: projects that began construction on or before that date may use the longer continuity pathway. Commercial solar projects starting now generally must be placed in service by December 31, 2027. The statutory credit is 6%; it can increase to 30% when the applicable prevailing-wage and registered-apprenticeship requirements are met. Commercial tax credit guide →
IRS Notice 2025-42 · verified 2026-08-06The value comes from the facility's real load, tariff, site, and tax position—not a generic statewide payback.
Generating power on-site turns a variable grid charge into a fixed project cost you can model for the life of the system in Connecticut.
Model the 6% statutory Section 48E credit, the increase to 30% when PWA rules are met, and 100% first-year bonus depreciation only when your tax team confirms eligibility.
Lower electricity spend flows straight to operating income — a durable line-item reduction, not a one-time rebate.
On-site clean generation supports emissions targets and the sustainability requirements tenants, investors, and municipalities increasingly ask for.
Program decision layer
Official program facts are separated from customer inputs and modeled results so a planning number cannot be mistaken for an approved incentive or a measured outcome.
Current Connecticut program
PURA says the 2026 review increased category price caps, established an annual budget cap, and updated the nonrefundable bid fee. NuWatt therefore does not hardcode a single NRES award price: use the current RFP, your utility rate class, and the price on the bid or Statement of Qualification.

Buy-All

At these inputs the two elections are effectively a tie.
Buy-All overtakes Netting once your award price rises above your retail netting rate — breakeven award here is $0.2800 per kWh.
Because Connecticut credits exported generation at the full retail rate, your self-consumption mix shifts where the Netting value comes from but not the Netting total. The real decision is Netting (valued at retail) vs. Buy-All (valued at your award), so a Buy-All award above retail wins — but Buy-All means you still buy 100% of your load at retail.
Estimates only — both NRES elections run a 20-year term. Netting value rises over the term as retail rates escalate, while a Buy-All award is a fixed 20-year price; this level view does not model escalation. This tool never sets an authoritative program rate: enter the retail rate from your bill and the award price from your bid or Statement of Qualification. The next NRES program year (PY5) RFP window runs August 3 – September 14, 2026.
