Connecticut Renewable Energy Solutions Overview
Started on January 1, 2022 and running through the end of 2027, Renewable Energy Solutions is a program that compensates you for the power produced from your commercial or residential distributed generation (Renewable Energy) systems and Renewable Energy Certificates or “RECs”.
You can select one of two incentive rate structures— Buy-All or Netting—along with your interconnection application. Additional incentives are available for income-eligible residential customers or customers who reside in Distressed
Municipalities/Environmental Justice Communities.
If you applied for interconnection before January 1, 2022, you are participating in the former Net Metering Program.
If you are applying for interconnection of a solar photovoltaic (PV) project on or after January 1, 2022, you are applying to participate in Connecticut Renewable Energy Solutions.

Home Energy Solutions℠
To participate in the Renewable Energy Solutions Program, homeowners living in homes built prior to 1980 are required to participate in Home Energy Solutions – a key step in unlocking the full potential of your solar investment.
This assessment and service is more than just a routine check; you receive an evaluation of how your home uses energy plus on-the-spot services to reduce energy loss, as needed. It’s a personalized roadmap designed to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and to reduce the amount of energy needed to power your home.
For the accuracy and completeness of this assessment, we kindly ask homeowners to allow our technicians the time needed for a thorough examination. This is more than a formality – it’s a critical step in maximizing the benefit of your solar investment. Our technicians are committed to entering all relevant information into our software systems before finalizing the assessment and signing off.
We understand the value of your time, and we assure you that this additional effort is aimed at providing you with the most accurate and beneficial results. Your cooperation in allowing our technicians the necessary time for this assessment is greatly appreciated and contributes to the success of the Renewable Energy Solutions Program.
