Why Erie Residents Go Solar

Most residents in Erie County receive power from National Grid or NYSEG. However, fluctuating rates, delivery fees, and peak-time charges have left homeowners with higher-than-average monthly energy bills.

Solar power offers a way to break free from these increasing costs, allowing homeowners to own their energy instead of renting it from a utility company.
