Why New York is Ideal for Solar
Despite our winters, New York receives enough sunlight to make solar a smart investment. Combined with some of the nation's highest electricity rates and best incentives, the math works in your favor.
Ample Sunlight
NY averages 4+ peak sun hours daily—more than Germany, a global solar leader.
High Electric Rates
NY has some of the highest rates in the US, averaging 23+ cents/kWh—making solar savings substantial.
Net Metering
Earn credits for excess power you send back to the grid, offsetting nighttime usage.
Battery Storage
Add battery backup for power outages and maximize self-consumption of solar energy.
Understanding Net Metering in New York
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. When your panels produce more than you use, the excess flows to the grid and your meter essentially "runs backward." You receive credits on your utility bill at the full retail rate, which can offset electricity you draw at night or on cloudy days.
This policy is particularly valuable in New York because of our high electricity rates. Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, and other utilities all participate in net metering programs. Learn more about how solar panels work or explore leasing vs. purchasing options.
Solar FAQs
By switching to solar energy, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity bills. Over time, the savings can add up to tens of thousands of dollars. Switching to solar also increases your energy independence by protecting you from rising utility rates and potential outages when paired with battery storage.
Due to the federal and local tax incentives, solar has never been more affordable. Take advantage of these rebates and $0 out of pocket financing options if you qualify.
Solar panels produce the most power in direct sunlight, but they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. However, they do not produce power at night.
Net metering is a billing system that allows solar panel owners to earn credits for the excess electricity they produce. When your solar panels generate more electricity than your home uses, that extra energy is sent back to the power grid. In return, your utility company gives you credits on your electricity bill. On cloudy days or during the night, those excess credits will be sent back to you and applied for your consumption.
When properly installed, solar panels can actually protect your roof. A reputable installer ensures your roof is in good shape and flashed correctly so you have no water issues.
Solar panels have no moving parts, so they require little to no maintenance.
Look for Certifications, proper Licensing and Insurance, Experience, high-quality equipment, strong warranties, and positive customer reviews. Be wary of red flags like guaranteeing tax credits or promising items with a solar installation.
The physical installation typically takes 1-2 days. The entire process, from contract to permission to operate, averages 6-8 weeks.
Switching to solar typically costs between $15,000 to $50,000. The cost is subject to the system size and the tax credits available to you.
