Chemung, NY Solar Installation

Electricity costs in Chemung County continue to rise, making it harder for homeowners to keep up with their bills. If you live in Elmira, Horseheads, or Big Flats, you’ve likely seen your energy costs increase year after year. Instead of relying entirely on NYSEG, more residents are turning to solar as a way to reduce their electric bills and secure long-term savings.

With New York’s solar incentives, many homeowners are covering a large portion of their installation costs upfront, making solar an affordable, low-risk investment.

Why Chemung Residents Go Solar

Most residents in the area rely on NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas) for electricity. Rising delivery charges and seasonal demand shifts have led to higher monthly bills for many households.

By installing solar panels, homeowners can offset these costs by producing their own energy and using New York’s net metering program to earn credits for excess energy.

Owning your own power means more control over costs. Rather than paying fluctuating rates to NYSEG, solar gives homeowners:

  • Lower energy costs from day one.
  • Protection from utility rate hikes in the coming years.
  • The ability to store excess power for future use through net metering.
  • Increased property value with an owned solar system.

Our Chemung County, NY Clients

Had a great experience with this company. From the salesman to the installers and the customer service were so friendly and knowledgeable. Everything went super smooth and was very pleased with the overall look of the panels on the house. I would highly recommend Empire Solar.
