The most well-reviewed solar company in the Hudson Valley

Our bills BEFORE panels were outrageous! The last two years, we have SAVED over $4000 in electric bills – EACH YEAR! BEST DECISION we ever made – we are VERY HAPPY with our solar panels! As for the price of the panels – we got great tax deductions, and the monthly cost is still LESS than what we paid for electric before panels.

Great experience! Super easy to communicate with. They went out of their way to come and fix a problem I was having which we later found out wasn’t even related to their work. Very friendly. Highly recommend!

I am very happy that I decided to go solar, after speaking to both Will and Adam who are very knowledgeable about value and effectiveness of the system. Great customer service! I received from Shannon, she was very patient and helpful.

Had an all around great experience with Empire Solar. We had no idea getting solar would be so easy and financially doable. Will is a super nice dude and did a great job of explaining everything to us. And Shannon has been great at guiding us through all the post-installation set up. Highly recommended!

Empire Solar has been wonderful and has made the solar installation process so easy. We’ve had someone guiding us and checking in at every step of the process. They have been timely and responsive with every step of the installation, from re-roofing to coordinating everything with our town and Central Hudson. Glad we chose Empire Solar.

It’s a common misconception that solar panels need constant sunshine to work well. In fact, solar panels perform better in cooler temperatures. While sunny days do boost production, panels generate enough power on cloudy days. Plus, with 1:1 net metering in New York, the extra energy produced during sunny months builds up as credits, which can be used during winter months.

Yes, Empire Solar is not only fully NYSERDA-certified, but has also achieved Golden Status Solar Installer - a recognition given to only a select few companies each year. This means Empire Solar consistently meets high standards of quality and customer service, making us one of the top solar installers in New York.

New York is one of the best states for solar incentives. The Federal Solar Incentive is worth 30% of your total system cost. The NY-Sun Program offers upfront rebates and finance options to help lower installation costs. Plus, there is a State Tax Incentive worth up to $5,000. And with 1:1 net metering, any extra energy your system produces gets stored as extra credits to be used when your panels aren’t generating enough power.
