Solar Firm Lays Off Almost All CT Workers as Administration Cancels Tax Credits

PosiGen, a Louisiana-based solar energy company specializing in leasing panels to low and moderate-income residents, laid off 78 workers from its Connecticut offices in Danbury, Shelton, and Wethersfield on August 24, 2025. The company cited financing difficulties worsened by the Trump administration's tax package ending federal renewable energy tax credits by end of 2025. Only 8 employees remain in Connecticut as the company seeks additional funding.
