Solar Panel Installation Staten Island

Electricity costs on Staten Island are some of the highest in NYC, often over $0.25 per kilowatt-hour. For homeowners in Midland Beach, New Dorp, Annadale, or Westerleigh, that means bills add up fast, even if you’re not using much.

Your solar system will start cutting those costs the moment your system goes live. You’re still connected to the grid, but you’re pulling less from it. And as Con Edison rates go up over time, your panels keep generating power at no extra cost. That’s how your savings grow.

Save on Your Staten Electric Bill

We’ve installed solar across Staten Island on raised ranches, two-family homes, and small commercial buildings. Staten Island is probably one of the best places in NYC to install solar panels. The sun hits rooftops here harder and longer than in other boroughs. There aren’t as many tall buildings blocking the light, and most homes have open roof space facing south or west.

How it Works

We handle the permits, work directly with Con Edison, and take care of every inspection. We start with two things when designing your system: your actual electric bill and your roof. We look at how much power you use, where the sun reaches, and how much space is available.

Incentives

Staten Island solar panel installation comes with financial help that lowers the upfront costs. You get a 30% federal tax credit – a direct reduction in what you owe on your taxes. New York State offers a tax credit of up to $5,000, and there are cash rebates through the NY-Sun program based on how many kilowatts your system produces. There’s also a 15-year property tax exemption, so it won’t increase your property taxes. We’ll walk you through every incentive and help you claim what you qualify for. You can also read more about solar panel rebates here.

Warranties

Every system we install comes with a 25-year warranty covering the panels, inverters, and our work. This isn’t just a guarantee on parts, it covers labor and installation quality, too. If something goes wrong five, ten, or even fifteen years down the line, we will take care of it at no extra cost.

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.

Solar panels are designed to hold up against storms, snow, and hail. There is no need to protect or cover the panels from bad weather since their construction is made with durability and operational continuation in mind. Moreover, we will also inform you about certain methods of maintenance that will help your system run well throughout the year.

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.
