Trumbull, Connecticut
Like many homeowners in Trumbull, Connecticut, this family was looking to take control of their electricity costs. With rates from Eversource ($0.27/kWh) and United Illuminating ($0.28/kWh), the numbers made sense — especially with Connecticut’s available state and utility incentive programs.
In Connecticut, solar homeowners can benefit from programs like RRES and Energize CT. Sales tax exempt. Property tax exempt.
Important: The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired on December 31, 2025. All savings calculations for this project reflect $0 federal tax credit for homeowner-purchased systems.
We designed a 12 kW system using 30 Q.CELLS Q.PEAK DUO ML-G11+ panels (400W each). Q.CELLS Q.PEAK DUO panels feature half-cut cell technology with excellent anti-degradation performance. Made by Hanwha, they carry a 25-year product warranty and are widely recognized for consistent real-world output.
The Enphase IQ8+ microinverters convert DC to AC at each individual panel, maximizing production even when some panels are shaded. Enphase’s panel-level monitoring lets the homeowner track performance of every single panel through the Enphase app. The IQ8 series also supports Sunlight Backup — limited daytime power during grid outages even without a battery.
Equipment Reviews
Connecticut RRES (Residential Renewable Energy Solutions) provides performance-based incentives. Energize CT offers additional rebates through utility programs.
Federal Tax Credit Status: The residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. Homeowner-purchased systems receive $0 federal tax credit. All savings estimates above are calculated without any federal credit. Third-party owned systems (leases/PPAs) may still benefit from the commercial ITC (Section 48/48E) claimed by the financing company.
“Straightforward process from start to finish. NuWatt was honest about what to expect with Connecticut's net metering and helped us right-size the system for our actual usage.”
