NY State Solar is a New York–based solar installation company serving homeowners in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County. The company installs residential solar energy systems using American-made, high-performing solar panels — black-on-black, low-profile designs that blend cleanly with rooftops — paired with SolarEdge inverters and power optimizers for panel-level monitoring and performance.

With Con Edison raising rates in 2026, locking in your energy costs now with solar has become one of the most straightforward ways New York homeowners can reduce long-term utility bills. NY State Solar offers financing programs with no upfront cost, allowing qualified homeowners to go solar without paying anything out of pocket on day one.

New York offers some of the strongest solar incentives in the country:

• NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement — up to 30% of system cost applied against your NYC property taxes
• NY State Income Tax Credit — 25% of system cost, up to $5,000
• NY-Sun Incentive Program — additional per-watt rebates through NYSERDA
• NY Sales Tax Exemption — solar equipment is fully exempt from state and local sales tax

These incentives can meaningfully reduce your net cost and improve your payback timeline. A qualified installer will calculate the full incentive stack for your specific property and utility account (Con Edison for the five boroughs and most of Westchester; PSEG Long Island for Nassau and Suffolk).

PROS

• Top-rated local installer — NY State Solar focuses exclusively on the New York market, with direct experience navigating NYC permits, utility interconnection, and borough-specific requirements
• SolarEdge system with power optimizers — panel-level monitoring and performance optimization; track production in real time via the SolarEdge monitoring app
• American-made, high-performing panels — black-on-black, low-profile design built for aesthetics and durability
• 25-year warranties — covering panel production, equipment, and roof penetration workmanship
• Roof work included — penetrations and associated roofwork are covered under the warranty, not left as a separate liability
• No upfront cost — financing options available for qualified homeowners; go solar without an out-of-pocket payment at signing

CONS

• Solar production varies by roof orientation, pitch, and available unshaded surface area — a site assessment is required before any savings estimate can be confirmed
• Permit and utility interconnection timelines in NYC can be longer than in suburban markets; project timelines should be confirmed upfront
• Financing terms vary; homeowners should review the full contract including interest rate, term length, and what happens to incentives (tax credits, rebates) under a financed agreement
• Battery backup (if desired) is a separate line item — confirm whether storage is included in your proposal or priced additionally
