Rooftop PV / Westport, CT

Rooftop PV

“I've always believed in owning my own home versus renting. The same holds true for energy. Owning my own electricity (being a generator) protects me against market conditions (foreign supply) and price increases. Our solar installation will effectively zero-out my electric bill. That just makes sense.”

Chris Cullen, Homeowner

Chris Cullen believes it’s just a matter of time before carbon reduction will become law. While renovating his home, he decided to get ahead of the curve and invest in solar power. Alteris™ Renewables worked with his architect/builder to engineer a 5.2kW system that will deliver 44% of the Cullens’ electricity needs. Alteris™ Renewables also ensured that the Cullens took full advantage of the state and federal incentives which will fund 49% of the project costs.
