Connecticut pays homeowners for solar through the RRES tariff and offers storage and heat-pump programs through Energize CT. Quest Solar serves the whole state and explains the choices for your home, then files the paperwork with Eversource or UI.
Serves most Connecticut towns. RRES and Energy Storage Solutions run through Energize CT for Eversource customers.
Serves Bridgeport, New Haven and neighboring towns; same statewide programs, separate interconnection process.
A few towns, such as Wallingford, Norwich and Groton, have municipal utilities with their own rules; RRES and Energize CT programs may not apply there, so we review your utility first.
Solar and electrical work is permitted by your town's building official under the Connecticut State Building Code.
You choose Buy-All or Netting when applying for interconnection; homes built before 1980 need a Home Energy Solutions visit first.
Some towns have local historic district commissions that review visible rooftop changes.
RRES runs through the end of 2027 with Buy-All or Netting options. Energy Storage Solutions terms changed in 2026, so we confirm the current battery incentive for your Eversource or UI account. Energize CT lists heat-pump rebates per ton for qualifying installations. The federal homeowner solar credit is not available for 2026 projects.
Verified November 2026; programs and funding can change. Incentives, rebates and tax credits depend on your utility, location, income, equipment, project details and program funding at the time you apply. Quest Solar does not guarantee eligibility or amounts and does not provide tax advice; consult a qualified tax professional about tax credits.
The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for expenditures after December 31, 2025 — the IRS states it is not available for property placed in service after that date. Quest does not advertise a 30% federal homeowner solar credit for 2026 projects.

According to the IRS, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (which covered heat pumps) applies only to property placed in service before the end of 2025, and the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (EV chargers) applied to property placed in service through June 30, 2026.

Commercial solar may still qualify for federal investment credits, subject to construction-start and placed-in-service deadlines, prevailing-wage and apprenticeship rules for larger projects, and other requirements. IRS Notice 2025-42 explains how beginning of construction is determined for solar facilities.

RRES began January 1, 2022 and runs through the end of 2027. Homeowners choose a Buy-All or Netting tariff when applying for interconnection, with adders for income-eligible customers and certain communities. Homes built before 1980 need a Home Energy Solutions visit.

Connecticut's Energy Storage Solutions program offers upfront and performance incentives for home batteries. Published incentive terms changed in 2026 and official pages currently differ, so we confirm the incentive in effect for your Eversource or UI account during the consultation rather than quoting a number here.

Energize CT lists heat-pump rebates of $1,500 per ton, up to $10,000, for qualifying installations on or after September 1, 2026 that replace fossil-fuel or electric-resistance heat, with lower per-ton amounts for other scenarios. A participating installer is required.

Buy-All sells all production to the utility at a fixed tariff; Netting credits production against your own usage. The better choice depends on your usage and goals; we model both.
Yes, through Energy Storage Solutions, but terms changed in 2026. We confirm the incentive in effect for your utility account before quoting.
For RRES, yes — a Home Energy Solutions visit is required first. We can help you schedule it.
