Why Go Solar in Shelter Island?

Shelter Island homeowners on Long Island face PSEG Long Island rates around 27¢/kWh. Suffolk County's wider lots, higher sun exposure, and less urban shading make it one of the strongest residential solar markets in New York. NY's 25% state tax credit, up to $6,250 in battery incentives, and retail-rate net metering through the PSEG LI Energy Credit Bank make the numbers work well for most homeowners.

A typical Shelter Island home with an 8–10 kW solar system can generate 9,000–12,000 kWh per year — often covering 80–100% of annual electricity needs. Modern tier-one panels operate at 20–22% efficiency with 25-year performance warranties. With Long Island's incentive stack, your total out-of-pocket cost after incentives is often 30–50% lower than the system price.
