Your Connecticut roof can earn NOI.

They are two different ways a project is paid under Connecticut's Non-Residential Renewable Energy Solutions (NRES) tariff. Under buy-all, the project is paid at the approved tariff rate for the electricity it generates. Under netting, the building uses the power on site and export credits are tied to the applicable retail rate. Which one fits depends on the roof, the building's load and the account, so we model both before anything is filed.

NRES is open to eligible non-residential Eversource and United Illuminating accounts, including commercial, industrial, municipal, non-profit and multifamily properties. Eligibility is set per account, not statewide, so the first step is checking your roof and your account.

Projects are delivered owner-funded, financed, or third-party funded. Which structure applies — and who pays, owns the equipment and receives the benefit — is set in the project agreement after underwriting.

No. Depending on its size, a project is either accepted at a set price or bid into a competitive selection, where it can lose. The tariff election is made at application, so we model the options first and tell you plainly where a roof stands.

Batteries fall under a separate Connecticut program, Energy Storage Solutions, with its own rules and payments. We model it alongside the solar so the same capability is never counted twice. See the Connecticut storage page for how it works.

A written initial review within 2 business days. If the property looks promising we name the specific data needed for a deeper assessment, which takes longer than the initial review. If it does not, we say so in writing and explain why.
