Connecticut Solar REAP Grant

Solar Incentives in Connecticut

Connecticut has a 100% property tax exemption for solar power systems. 

In Connecticut, businesses can avoid the 6.35% sales tax. On a $100k project, you're saving $6,350!

Connecticut's two main utility companies, United Illuminating and Eversource, participate in net metering where businesses can receive utility-specific electricity credits for any excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) remaining at the end of the month at a rate of 3.18 cents/kWh.

What is the REAP Grant (Rural Energy for America Program)?

The USDA's "Rural Energy for America Program," or “REAP,” offers a grant designed to encourage agricultural and rural businesses to maximize their energy efficiency with solar.
