Why New York Residents Go Solar

Most residents in Manhattan receive their electricity from Con Edison, which has some of the highest utility rates in the country. With delivery fees, demand charges, and unpredictable rate hikes, many homeowners and businesses struggle with ever-increasing costs.

Our New York, NY Clients

Solar is a very competitive business with a lot of companies trying to increase market share. Empire was the only company that took the time and resources to address tree coverage on my property and and tailor the best possible solution to my needs. They understand that not every situation is ideal for "plug and play" solar.
