It's cool to see CT mentioned on HN. I haven't seen any mentions until today.

My family has installed solar on every house we've lived while there. There is a strong economic incentive. CT has some of the most expensive avg. electricity cost in the country (a few cents cheaper than California for comparison). And Eversource, the utility company, is universally hated. Most people want to switch from their terrible service and are looking for any reason to.

CT is too far north for solar PV to save on the CO2 generated. The solar albino there is less of .25.
