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.
