In a vibrant celebration of community-driven sustainability, Hartford’s “Solar for All” initiative marked a major milestone this August with more than 350 residents now benefiting from solar energy systems. Launched in 2018 through a partnership between the City of Hartford, Connecticut Green Bank, and PosiGen, the program aims to make solar and battery storage accessible to all homeowners—regardless of income.
🏡 Key Highlights:
350+ Hartford homes now equipped with solar panels and battery storage
Battery storage adds resilience, helping families maintain power during outages
Cost savings allow residents to redirect funds toward essentials like bills and medicine
Equity-focused design ensures affordability and inclusion across income levels
🎤 The recent “Solar Celebration” on Blue Hills Avenue featured remarks from U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, city officials, and program leaders, alongside heartfelt testimonials from residents who’ve seen dramatic reductions in their energy bills.
💬 “I no longer have to worry about skyrocketing summer bills,” shared Dr. Kaydian R., while Yahaira A. added, “The savings have just been through the roof.”
🌍 As Connecticut pushes toward a cleaner energy future, Solar for All Hartford stands out as a model of how inclusive, community-based programs can deliver environmental, economic, and social benefits.
