Solar Panels in Norwich, CT

Norwich, Connecticut residents are served by Norwich Public Utilities, which charges $0.29 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 70% above the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $3,082 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Norwich can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $2,740 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $99,893 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 9 years.

As a municipal utility, Norwich Public Utilities sets its own rates and rebate programs independently. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Norwich Public Utilities. Heat pump rebates of up to $5,000 are also available for Norwich homeowners.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025, making state and utility incentives more important than ever.
