Why East Hartford Homeowners Pay Too Much for Electricity — And How Solar Fixes It
East Hartford homeowners on Eversource pay approximately 32.5¢ per kWh — nearly double the national average. For a typical East Hartford home using 700–1,000 kWh/month (common in the ranches and capes along Silver Lane and Burnside Avenue), that’s $225–$325 in monthly electricity costs. East Hartford's homes with window AC units, electric water heaters, and older heating systems regularly see summer bills above $300. The neighborhoods along Forbes Street, the Hockanum area, and near Goodwin Park are particularly good candidates for solar — their compact, south-facing roofs are efficient to install. A properly sized 6–10 kW system can eliminate 90–100% of that cost.

CT rate per kWh

the national average
Over the past decade, Connecticut electricity rates have increased an average of 3–5% per year. At that trajectory, a homeowner currently paying $200/month could be paying $320–$370/month within 10 years — without using any more electricity. Over 25 years, a typical East Hartford household will pay $55,000–$100,000 to Eversource if they do nothing.
25-Year Cost Comparison for East Hartford Homeowners
- Without solar (Eversource, 3-5% annual increases)$55,000 – $100,000
- With SunPol prepaid lease (one payment, $0/mo for 25yr)$14,000 – $36,000
- Your estimated savings$25,000 – $50,000+
An East Hartford homeowner paying $200/month to Eversource will spend approximately $70,000–$100,000 on electricity over 25 years at current rates with 3–5% annual increases. With SunPol’s prepaid lease, that same homeowner makes one upfront payment and pays $0/month for the next 25 years — saving $25,000–$50,000 over the system’s lifetime.
Solar effectively locks in your electricity cost at today's rate — or lower. With SunPol's prepaid lease, you make one payment and your monthly electric cost drops to $0 for 25 years. With our PPA, you pay a per-kWh rate lower than Eversource's current rate from day one, and it never increases at the same pace as utility rates.
According to Zillow research, homes with solar panels sell for 4.1% more on average than comparable homes without solar. For a median-priced home in East Hartford, that translates to approximately $7,000–$11,000 in added property value — and Connecticut's 100% solar property tax exemption means your taxes don't increase even as your home value rises.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) confirms that Connecticut receives sufficient solar irradiance — approximately 4.0–4.5 peak sun hours per day — to make residential solar highly viable year-round, including during winter months when panels still produce 60–80% of their summer output.

Is solar worth it in East Hartford, CT?
Highly worthwhile. East Hartford homes are among the most cost-effective in Greater Hartford to solarize due to their compact size and affordable system costs. A household paying $225–$325/month to Eversource will spend $55,000–$100,000 on electricity over 25 years. Solar eliminates that escalating cost. Most East Hartford homeowners see full payback in 5–7 years and save $25,000–$50,000+ over the system’s 25-year life. Connecticut's 100% property tax exemption means your East Hartford home value increases without any tax penalty.
What solar financing options does SunPol offer in East Hartford?
SunPol offers three options for East Hartford homeowners: a prepaid solar lease ($0/month for 25 years — all maintenance and monitoring included, transferable if you sell), a Power Purchase Agreement ($0 down, pay only for solar energy at a rate lower than Eversource's 32.5¢/kWh), and cash purchase for maximum lifetime savings plus the 30% SunPol discount. For East Hartford's larger homes with $300+ bills, the prepaid lease often delivers the best long-term value — one payment eliminates decades of rising utility costs.
What solar incentives are available in Connecticut in 2026?
Connecticut homeowners can take advantage of the 30% SunPol discount, a 100% property tax exemption on the added home value from solar, net metering with full retail credit from Eversource, and sales tax exemption on solar equipment. Combined, these incentives can cut the total cost of going solar by 30–40%.
How long does solar installation take in East Hartford?
The physical installation on a East Hartford home typically takes 1–2 days for a standard 8–12 kW system. The full timeline from first call to system activation is 4–8 weeks.

SunPol handles every step: engineering, permits, installation, inspection scheduling, and Eversource interconnection paperwork — all from our Newington headquarters just 5 miles away.
