Brightstar Solar is an Approved Installer for the CT Solar Lease Program

Sept. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- With offices in Fairfield, Connecticut, Brightstar Solar is one of only 35 Approved Installers for the CT Solar Lease Program.  Connecticut is the only state that provides a rate-payer supported residential leasing program to its residents.  It is a unique program that takes advantage of the state’s generous solar rebates and combines it with savings from the federal tax credit to offer the lowest, fixed monthly lease payments for a solar installation with no down payment required.

One of the qualities that make the CT Solar Lease Program so innovative is that it puts solar in the hands of the middle-class as opposed to just the affluent.  Unless you finance or lease a solar installation, solar typically requires a large upfront investment.  Available cash is not as accessible to moderate income households.  A leasing structure through the CT Solar Lease allows residents to get all the benefits of a solar panel installation without a huge upfront cost.  

With CT Solar Lease, the program would actually own the solar electric system installed on your roof and lease it out to you at a low, fixed monthly payment of about $120 for an average home.  With most households participating in the program, you can start to see the savings on your electricity bill almost immediately.
