# POSIGEN

**Trade:** Solar Installation · **Address:** Bridgeport, CT · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 1.4/5** (high confidence) — from 3 reviews across 5 sources.

## The honest read

PosiGen describes itself on its Better Business Bureau page as a provider of solar PV and thermal solutions and of energy efficiency consulting.

The Better Business Bureau gives it a B- grade and lists 8 complaints. A local news site, wtnh.com, has reported that the solar company laid off Connecticut employees, citing financial difficulties, and has covered the end of all Shelton jobs amid a facility shutdown.

In a January 2026 r/connecticut thread, a poster said PosiGen is not installing anymore, so you would have to find another company.

**Concerns:**
- BBB complaints — the BBB lists 8 complaints and a B- grade
- Reported layoffs — wtnh.com reported Connecticut layoffs over financial difficulties

## Recent reviews

- **Better Business Bureau · KENNETH L**: Extremely Disappointed Over a Year Later and Still No Active System I entered into a contract with this company in May REMOVEDa reasonable timeframe. Unfortunately, this has turned into an extremely frustrating experience.
- **Better Business Bureau · Iuval C**: The inverter stopped working, so no solar power for several months, but they keep charging me $70/month. I told them over email, they asked me to call them, but it is not my responsibility to spend more time on the phone with them.
- **Better Business Bureau · Tikea B**: Posigen solar is filling for bankruptcy, they neglected or intentionally never notified me as a consumer of their products. I was mislead about the goods and services provided by the company.
