Connecticut homeowners pay among the highest electricity rates in the country — and those rates have spiked again and again. Propel puts solar on your roof for $0 down with one monthly payment that is locked for the life of the agreement.
This is rate-shock insurance for the Eversource CT and United Illuminating territories: your Propel payment cannot escalate, even as supply rates reset upward.
Yes. Propel is a prepaid third-party-ownership solar program open to Connecticut homeowners. Because the residential Section 25D tax credit expired at the end of 2025, a third-party owner (SolSource) captures the commercial Section 48E credit and reflects that value in a fixed monthly payment — with an option to obtain ownership beginning after year five, subject to the agreement terms. It is built for Connecticut, where electricity rates are among the highest in the nation.
Connecticut homeowners carry some of the steepest electricity bills in the United States, and those bills are driven as much by delivery charges as by the supply rate that resets every few months. When a supply rate jumps, the whole bill jumps — and there is no ceiling on how high it can climb.
A Propel payment behaves the opposite way. It is fixed for the life of the agreement, with no escalators and no dealer fees. As utility rates keep moving, the gap between a rising bill and a flat solar payment is exactly what Connecticut homeowners feel most.
The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) expired on December 31, 2025, so a straight cash or consumer-loan purchase no longer earns a homeowner-level federal credit. Propel keeps tax-credit value in the picture a different way: a third-party owner claims the still-active commercial Section 48E credit and passes that value through by reducing the agreement price. That is how $0-down, ownership-focused solar still pencils out in Connecticut in 2026.

Prepay with cash or fixed-payment financing originated by TriBeam Financial through the Concert Finance program. A quick online prescreen starts the process without affecting your credit score.
SolSource owns the system and installs it through NuWatt, your licensed Connecticut installer, using Enphase microinverters and battery hardware.
SolSource operates and maintains the system and provides the performance guaranty. That guaranty is SolSource’s, as the system owner — not a NuWatt promise.
Beginning after year five you have the option to obtain ownership, subject to the agreement terms, with no change to your monthly payment.
Your savings depend on your specific utility, not a statewide average. These are the current per-utility residential rates on file for Connecticut’s two investor-owned providers — the higher your rate, the more a fixed solar payment stands out against it.

Connecticut supply rates reset on a schedule and have repeatedly spiked; most solar leases escalate every year on top of that. A Propel payment is fixed for the life of the agreement — the flat line, year after year, while the utility line keeps rising.
