Solar Panel Installation Queens

Solar Pro has installed solar systems across Queens for over a decade. We work with homeowners in single-family homes, two-family houses, and co-op buildings from Bayside to Ridgewood and beyond. We manage all the details for you like permits, Con Edison interconnection, and inspections.

A typical home in Queens needs about 20 panels, which fit on most gable or flat roofs. Some homeowners also use backyard space for ground-mounted systems, a practical option more common in Queens than in other boroughs. Commercial properties usually require 70 to 100 panels, depending on energy use. Most systems pay for themselves in 7 to 9 years, after which the electricity they generate is nearly free for over a decade.

Lower Your Electric Bills in Queens

Homes

Electricity in Queens costs around $0.22 to $0.25 per kilowatt-hour, including delivery and city charges. The typical household pays $130 to $190 a month, and more during summer months when AC runs constantly. Homes with electric cooking, baseboard heating, or EV charging often see bills climb even higher. A properly sized solar system can cover 60% to 85% of a home’s annual usage, cutting thousands of dollars off of electric expenses.

Businesses

For Queens businesses and rental properties, the savings can be even greater. Higher energy use, of course means bigger electric bills, which only can mean more money saved. With the federal tax credit and New York incentives, many commercial solar systems in Queens pay for themselves in 6 to 8 years, sometimes faster.

FAQs

Solar panels needs for your home can vary, it depends on several factors. New York home’s average is between 17 and 30 solar panels to fully meet energy needs. Here are some influencing factors:

  1. Energy Consumption: Household electricity consumption tells us about the number of solar panels needed. Larger homes with more occupants, EVS, and electric devices will require more panels, whereas smaller homes need fewer.
  2. Location and Sunlight Exposure: Sunlight levels tend to vary across New York. Properties in upstate areas often get less sunlight than those in New York City or Long Island, which correlates with the number of panels you need.
  3. Panel Efficiency: Solar panels differ in type and efficiency. More efficient panels generate the same power with fewer units compared to less efficient ones.
  4. Roof Space: Your roof’s space limits the number of panels you can install. If space is tight, higher efficiency panels is beneficial to meet your energy needs.
  5. Energy Goals: Your energy goals affect how many panels you’ll need. If you want to offset 100% of your electricity usage, you’ll need more panels than if you only want to account for a portion of your energy usage.
  6. System Design: Design and configuration of solar panel system, including the angle and orientation of the panels, can affect the number of panels required.

Solar panels are designed to be resistant to most forms of environmental elements; hail is no exception. Their tough materials, including toughened glass and reinforced frames, boast great rigidity and resistance against impacts.

Strength: The panels are tested to withstand harsh weather conditions, including hailstones as big as 1 inch in diameter, plummeting at a velocity of approximately 50 mph.

Heavy Hail: Standard panels stand up great to regular hail, but huge pieces of hail or extremely severe conditions can begin to show damage. For any area prone to this kind of extreme weather, discuss with your installer additional protection.

To monitor your solar panel system in New York, here are a few easy steps:

  1. Check through the App: With the dedicated phone or tablet app, provided by the solar provider, you will be able to see the real-time energy production and the status of your system.
  2. Access Online Portal: Log on to a web portal from your computer and access detailed performance data; hence, monitoring your energy output.
  3. Analyze Key Indicators: Verify overall energy production, current power, and efficiency to ensure your system is performing as it should.
  4. Notification: Enable notifications in case any malfunction or maintenance is needed to allow you to be timely informed about the health of your system.
  5. Log in Routinely: Make it a habit to log in frequently to see if something is not right, making sure everything runs smoothly.

For any problems you observe, never hesitate to get in touch with your local solar service provider for possible assistance in solving your requirements.

Here’s what typically happens depending on how your solar system is financed:

Owned Outright

  • The panels are included in the home sale.
  • They can increase your home’s value and appeal to buyers.
  • No extra steps, just part of the property transfer.

Financed with a Solar Loan

  • You may need to pay off the remaining loan at closing.
  • Some loans can be transferred to the buyer, if they qualify and agree.

Leased or Under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

  • The lease or PPA must be transferred to the new homeowner.
  • The buyer must qualify and agree to take over the contract.
Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your roof to determine its suitability for solar installation. Factors include roof condition, orientation, pitch, and shading. We will provide recommendations and solutions based on this evaluation.

Yes, you can sell electricity back to the grid in New York under a scheme known as net metering. That means you could be generating renewable electricity for self-consumption at one time and feeding excess power into the grid. You get a credit in return, offsetting your future electricity use.

Under the Ministry of Energy, there is the Net Metering program through Regulation O. Reg. 541/05: NET METERING. This could help homeowners and businesses bring down their electricity bills while greening the grid by hooking onto renewable energy sources, such as solar.

That means you can save on your energy bills by generating your electricity, but any excess energy you produce adds extra value to your renewable energy investment.

Yes, you may still receive a bill, but it will likely be significantly lower. Depending on your energy usage and system size, some months you may even generate excess power, which can be credited to your account.

Firstly, your home will remain connected to the grid, so if your solar panels don’t produce enough energy to meet your needs, you can draw power from the grid.

This means that you are going to have a constant power supply no matter the season of the year or whether the weather acts up. If you feel there is a big drop in the production of power, the first thing you do is to take a look at the panels for evident problems like dirt or other debris on them. If the problem persists, contact us. We can diagnose and clear all underlying issues to make your system work optimally again.
