Bridgeport averages 4.3 peak sun hours a day. A well-oriented kilowatt of panels produces roughly 1,255 kilowatt-hours a year here. A typical 9 kW residential system therefore produces around 11,295 kWh annually. At United Illuminating’s rate of supply 14.95¢, that production is worth roughly $1,688 a year before any incentive.
Those are pre-shading numbers. Trees, roof pitch and orientation move them, sometimes a lot, which is why an installer looks at your specific roof rather than quoting from a city average.

Connecticut has some of the highest electric rates in the nation. The state's Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (RRES) program lets homeowners earn bill credits for the solar power they produce, and Connecticut exempts solar equipment from sales tax and the added home value from property tax. The Connecticut Green Bank supports affordable solar financing. Net metering credits you for the surplus solar power your system sends to the grid: when your panels make more than you use, you bank a credit; at night you draw it back — for a lower, more predictable monthly bill.
In Connecticut, net metering runs through utilities like Eversource and United Illuminating. Full detail on our Connecticut solar page, or learn why your bill keeps rising.
