THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR

Why go solar?

Solar isn't just about panels on a roof — it's about taking control of your energy and your budget.

Lower or Eliminate Your Electric Bill

Generate your own power and stop sending money to the utility company every month. Many homeowners dramatically reduce or wipe out their electric bill entirely.

Protection From Rising Rates

Utility rates climb year after year, but your solar investment locks in predictable energy costs. The more rates rise, the more you save.

True Energy Independence

A Cleaner Future

Every system reduces your carbon footprint and supports a more sustainable community. Good for your wallet and the planet.

THE SOLAR PROCESS

How Residential Solar Works

From sunlight to savings, here's what powers your home.

Solar Panels

Panels on your roof or ground-mount array capture sunlight and convert it into electricity throughout the day.


1

Inverter

The inverter converts that energy into the standard power your home uses, seamlessly and automatically.


2

Your Home

Your appliances, lights, and devices run on clean solar power first, reducing what you pull from the grid.


3

Grid & Battery

Extra energy can charge a home battery or feed back to the grid, so nothing goes to waste.


4

Your system runs quietly in the background, and with real-time monitoring you can see exactly how much energy you're producing and saving at any time. Earthlight's service team keeps everything optimized long after installation day.

Residential Solar Panel Installation Done Right

Every Earthlight solar system is engineered, permitted, installed, and serviced entirely by our own employees. That means expert craftsmanship, one point of accountability, and a system built specifically around your home's energy use and long-term goals. With 18+ years of experience and thousands of installations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Oregon, we've refined every step to make going solar simple and stress-free.

Why Homeowners Choose Earthlight

Solar That Fits Your Budget

Every homeowner is different, so we offer three flexible ways to go solar — and we'll help you choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

Lease/PPA

Power Purchase Agreement

 Lower your electric bill

 No up-front costs

 No installation fees

Set monthly payments

Third party system owner

Transferable to new home owner

With a solar lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a third party covers the cost of the equipment and installation. Instead of owning the system, you simply pay for the power it produces — often at a predictable, lower rate than your current utility.

Loan

Solar Loan

 $0 Down

Generate your own power

Pay nothing for power produced

Monthly payments for loan

Additional incentives may apply

System and power are owned

A solar loan works much like a traditional bank loan or mortgage — often with competitive interest rates and flexible, extended terms. This option allows you to own your solar system from day one while spreading the cost into manageable payments.

Purchase

Ownership

Generate your own solar power

Pay nothing for produced power

Protection from utility rate hikes

Additional incentives may apply

You pay the full system cost

System and power are owned

When you purchase your solar system outright, you own it from day one — and the power it produces is yours at no additional cost. That means once it’s installed, you can enjoy clean energy without monthly payments to a lender or third party.

SERVICE & SUPPORT

Frequently asked service questions

  • How much does a residential solar system cost?

    Every system is priced to your home, but most homeowners are surprised how affordable solar is once financing is factored in. We'll give you a clear, no-pressure estimate up front.

  • How does solar actually save me money?

    Your panels generate power your home would otherwise buy from the utility, lowering or eliminating your monthly electric bill and protecting you from rising rates over time.

  • What financing options do you offer?

    We offer three flexible options — Lease/PPA, Loan, and Purchase — so you can choose the path that best fits your budget and goals.

  • Is my roof right for solar?

    Most roofs are a great fit. During your free consultation we'll assess orientation, shading, and condition — and if roofing work is needed, we can handle that too.

  • What if I don't want panels on my roof?

    No problem. Ground-mount systems are installed on your property at the ideal angle for sunlight, and can be sized to power your entire home.

  • Can I add battery storage later?

    Absolutely. Our systems are designed with the future in mind, and we install Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH batteries whenever you're ready.

  • How long does installation take?

    Most residential installs are completed in one to three days once permits are approved, and our in-house crews handle the entire process.

  • What kind of warranty support do I get?

    Your system is backed by strong equipment warranties plus Earthlight's own dedicated service department for long-term monitoring and maintenance.
