Solar, battery storage, EV chargers, standby generators and roofing, all handled by one local team.

Rooftop Power installs across eastern Connecticut in towns like North Stonington, Pawcatuck, Putnam and Plainfield, with the same one-team model we use everywhere: our crews, our trucks, our name on the job.
Connecticut homes are served by Eversource or United Illuminating. The state Residential Renewable Energy Solutions program lets you choose between a netting tariff and a buy all tariff, both paid through your utility.
Which structure wins depends on how much of your solar power you use at home. We model both tariffs against your actual bill so you can compare real numbers in writing before you decide anything.
Eastern Connecticut towns like North Stonington, Pawcatuck and Plainfield sit minutes from our Rhode Island coverage area, so the same crews, the same trucks and the same project managers handle Connecticut jobs. You get a three state installer with local drive times.
Connecticut retired classic net metering and replaced it with the Residential Renewable Energy Solutions program, usually shortened to RRES. Every new residential solar system in Eversource or United Illuminating territory enrolls in RRES, and the program gives you a choice between two tariffs. Picking the right one is one of the most consequential decisions in a Connecticut solar project, because the two reward very different usage patterns.
The first option is the Netting Tariff. It works the way most people picture solar: you use your own production first, and you earn credit for the surplus you send back to the grid. Netting tends to favor homes that use less of their own power during the day, because more of the production is exported and credited.
The second option is the Buy-All Tariff. Under Buy-All the utility purchases every kilowatt hour your system produces at a fixed rate, and you separately buy back all the electricity your home uses at the standard retail rate. It is a cleaner split, and it can come out ahead for homes with a different daily usage shape. Neither tariff is universally better, it genuinely depends on the home.
You use your own production first and earn credit for the surplus you export. Tends to favor homes that use less of their own power during the day.
The utility buys all your production at a fixed rate and you buy back all your usage at retail. Can come out ahead for other usage patterns.
The tariff you pick is hard to undo, so we model both against your real bill before you decide anything.
Rooftop Power models both the Netting and Buy-All tariffs against your actual Eversource or United Illuminating bill, so you can compare the real numbers for your home before you commit to a tariff that is not easy to change later.
Every pin is a completed Rooftop Power installation. Our own in-house crews cover Connecticut from our Warwick, Rhode Island headquarters.
The programs and payment options a homeowner in Eversource and United Illuminating territory should know about.
Your utility credits your account for the power your system sends back to the grid.
The Residential Renewable Energy Solutions program offers buyback and netting options through your utility.
Your incentive path depends on which utility serves your home. We confirm it before we design.
We put the full financing picture in front of you before you commit to anything.
We do not quote federal tax credits or guaranteed dollar savings. Rooftop Power reviews the current state programs with you and puts the real numbers for your home in writing.
The same six steps on every job, run by our own crews from the first bill review to the day the system switches on.
We start with a look at your recent Eversource or United Illuminating bills, your roof and how your household uses power. You get a straight read on whether solar makes sense for your home, with no pressure and nothing owed.
Our designers size a system to your actual annual usage and your roof, then put the full price, the financing options and the production estimate in writing so you can compare it against your current Eversource or United Illuminating bill line by line.
We pull the local building permit and file the Eversource or United Illuminating interconnection application for you. This is the paperwork that stalls a lot of projects, and our own team handles all of it in house.
Our own electricians and roofers install the system, never a subcontractor. If the roof needs work, we handle that first so you are not pulling panels off a failing roof a few years down the road.
The town inspector and Eversource or United Illuminating both sign off on the finished system. We schedule the inspections and meet them on site, so you never have to chase anyone down.
Once Eversource or United Illuminating grants permission to operate, we switch the system on and your billing arrangement begins. We stay your point of contact for monitoring, service and questions long after the crew has gone.
Solar is the start. One local team also handles the battery, the EV charger, the generator and the roof underneath it.
Eastern Connecticut sees its share of storm outages, and a battery keeps the lights, the heat and the fridge running when the grid drops. Storing your own daytime production also gives you more control under whichever RRES tariff you choose.
Learn moreCharging an electric vehicle at home on your own solar production beats paying Eversource or United Illuminating rates at the wall. We install home chargers wired to run on what your roof makes.
Learn moreWhen an outage runs long, a whole home standby generator picks up where a battery leaves off. We size and install it as part of the same project so everything is handled by one crew.
Learn moreBefore panels go on, the roof has to be ready. Because our own crews handle roofing as well as solar, we replace or repair a tired Connecticut roof in the same project instead of sending you to another contractor.

A solar array is only as good as the roof beneath it. Because we do both, we can replace or repair your roof as part of the project instead of sending you to a separate contractor and hoping the timing lines up.
