Nestled in the heart of the Catskills, Delaware County is renowned for its natural beauty, close-knit communities, and rural charm. However, the region’s reliance on electricity during cold winters and rising energy costs has left many homeowners searching for a better solution to manage their expenses.
We’ve worked hand-in-hand with local families, helping them take control of their energy future through customized solar solutions. With the support of state and federal programs covering up to 80% of installation costs, switching to solar isn’t just a smart financial decision – it’s a step toward long-term energy independence and sustainability for Delaware County residents.
Delaware County homeowners primarily rely on NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas) for their electricity needs. With much of the county’s energy infrastructure spread across rural areas, delivery fees and service charges can add significantly to monthly bills, making electricity costs higher than in more densely populated regions.
What’s more, electricity rates have risen steadily in recent years, leaving residents with limited options to control their energy expenses. By switching to solar, Delaware County homeowners can take charge of their electricity costs, generating their own power and insulating themselves from future rate increases.
