More than 200 lawsuits have been filed by solar installation companies since 2017 against 19 different Connecticut municipalities.
The issue lies with a state law exempting renewable energy sources like solar panels “installed for the generation of electricity for private residential use” and whether that should cover systems that feed power onto the grid or are owned by a third party.
Most solar installations involve such third-party ownership agreements, due to the steep upfront costs, according to the Connecticut Green Bank, a quasi-public agency that arranges financing for clean energy projects.
