Niagara County homeowners looking to cut energy costs are turning to solar, but not all solar panels are the same. At Empire Solar, we install top-tier, high-efficiency panels designed for maximum energy production and long-term durability. Whether you’re in Niagara Falls, Lockport, North Tonawanda, or beyond, you deserve a solar system that lasts decades – the one built with high-performance technology and expert craftsmanship.
We’ve been helping Niagara County homeowners transition to solar for nearly a decade. As a NYSERDA Gold Status Certified Installer, we meet the highest quality and efficiency standards in New York State. Unlike many solar companies, we only offer full solar ownership.
Most Niagara County residents are served by National Grid or NYSEG, both of which have seen consistent rate hikes in recent years. The average electricity cost in New York is 40% higher than the national average, making it one of the most expensive states for energy.
By switching to solar, homeowners can offset these high costs, protect themselves from future rate increases, and benefit from New York’s solar incentive programs.
