Steuben County is home to hardworking families and thriving communities like Corning, Bath, and Hornell. With its mix of rural charm and growing energy demands, many homeowners in the area are looking for ways to manage rising electricity costs.
At Empire Solar, we understand the unique energy needs of Steuben County residents. From navigating local regulations to ensuring your home is fully prepared for solar, we handle every detail of the process. What sets us apart:
Dependence on NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas) for electricity has left families vulnerable to rate increases and high delivery fees. Solar energy offers a reliable, cost-effective way to generate your own power, gain energy independence, and eliminate their electricity bills while protecting themselves from future rate hikes.
Additionally, New York’s net metering policy enables solar users to earn energy credits for excess power generated during sunny months, which can be used to offset costs during winter.
