The Bronx is a place of resilience, innovation, and forward-thinking homeowners who are looking for smarter ways to save on energy costs. With rising electricity rates and the increasing demand for sustainable energy, switching to solar is becoming a practical choice for residents across neighborhoods like Riverdale, Fordham, and Mott Haven.
At Empire Solar, we’ve been helping Bronx homeowners take control of their energy costs with full solar ownership – no leases, no confusing contracts. As a NYSERDA Gold Status Certified Installer, we handle every step of the process, ensuring your transition to solar is smooth, hassle-free, and delivers maximum savings from day one.
Electricity rates in the Bronx are among the highest in New York City, and they continue to rise. With Con Edison as the primary electric provider, residents are seeing unpredictable bills and increasing delivery charges. But with solar, you’re no longer at the mercy of fluctuating utility rates. You generate your own power, lower your bills, and lock in predictable savings for decades.
Benefits of Going Solar in the Bronx:
Electricity rates vs. national average
Projected electricity costs over 10 years without solar
Average total incentive per household
