Saratoga County homeowners are primarily served by National Grid and NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas) for their electricity. While these utilities provide reliable service, rising rates and delivery fees have become a growing concern for many families.

Solar energy offers a solution by allowing residents to generate their own power, reducing dependence on utility providers, and avoiding unpredictable rate hikes.
