By BETHEL, Conn. — Integration has been completed and the Solar-Log® & GE Meters by Solar Data Systems, Inc. are officially reporting for Connecticut’s Residential Solar Investment Program (RSIP) through Connecticut Green Bank.

The Connecticut Green Bank provides incentives to offset the cost of homeowner investment, making solar power an affordable choice for CT homeowners.
