Ansonia, Connecticut residents are served by United Illuminating, which charges $0.36 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 114% above the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $3,888 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Ansonia can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $3,456 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $126,003 in total savings. With Connecticut state incentives of $2,000, the net system cost drops to $24,544, resulting in a payback period of just 7.1 years.
