Solar in Long Island looks a bit different in Suffolk County because you’re farther from the grid and closer to the water.
For homeowners across the county, especially in Riverhead, Mattituck, or Centerport, solar power is a great power source that lasts through Suffolk salt air, high winds, and potential LIPA outages.
We’ve installed systems across the county where roofs are usually bigger, shading is less of an issue, and you can add battery storage.

Most homes in Suffolk County run on a 20- to 24-panel system. That covers a big portion of your costs, especially if you’re using gas for heat. The panels fit on most roofs, even older ones with basic framing, as long as the structure is sound.
If you’re in a bigger house, out toward Southold or Shoreham, or you plan to switch to all-electric, you might go up to 30 panels. Some people add battery storage right away to be ready when the next nor’easter hits. Commercial properties usually need 80 or more, depending on how much power they use during the day.
Once it’s running, your bill starts going down month after month. How fast the system pays for itself depends on your usage and utility, but most homeowners see it break even in 7 to 9 years. After that, it’s basically free electricity for another 15 or 20.

The federal tax credit covers 30% of the total cost, which comes off your taxes the following year. New York State adds a rebate through NY-Sun, based on how much power your system produces. There’s also a state tax credit worth up to $5,000, and if you’re in a TEPRA-eligible area or on LIPA, you may qualify for extra solar incentives in your area, especially if you add battery storage. There’s a 15-year property tax exemption, too.
Every system we install comes with a 25-year warranty covering the panels, inverters, and labor. That means if a panel underperforms over time, or a mounting point loosens due to coastal wind and salt air, we replace or repair it at no cost to you. It also covers electrical components and installation quality, not just the equipment.
