Hamden Brings Back Award-Winning Solar Program
The Solarize Hamden program will host a kick-off workshop on Sept. 27.

From Solarize Hamden: Solarize Hamden is back! The Town of Hamden is participating again in the award-winning residential solar program that makes going solar easy and affordable. In the first round of Solarize Hamden, nearly 300 Hamden families inquired about solar for their homes, and 40 families moved forward with installing solar.
Solarize Hamden is a coordinated effort across the community, supported by the Town of Hamden. Due to the interest in the first round, decreased pricing on solar, and increased financing opportunities, the city opted to offer the program to residents who missed out on the first Solarize program. Through a competitive selection process, Hamden once again selected C-TEC Solar as their solar installer. C-TEC Solar will provide the solar installations in Hamden at special discount pricing in exchange for enhanced outreach and education from the Town.
Solarize Hamden also offers residents access to financing options that make going solar affordable with no upfront costs. SmartPower, the non-profit that works with the city to offer the Solarize program, has partnered with Dividend Solar to help qualified residents save money with the $0 down financing option. Other financing resources are available through Hamden’s solar installer.
