Solar Panels in Wallingford, CT

Wallingford, Connecticut residents are served by Wallingford Electric Division, which charges $0.17 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 1% below the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,787 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Wallingford can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,589 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $57,926 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 15.4 years.

As a municipal utility, Wallingford Electric Division sets its own rates and rebate programs independently. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Wallingford Electric Division. Heat pump rebates of up to $1,500 are also available for Wallingford homeowners.

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