Why Go Solar in Chelsea?

Chelsea homeowners and condo owners with south-facing roof access pay Con Edison rates averaging 24–32¢/kWh — among the highest in the nation. NYC's 30% property tax abatement (7.5%/yr × 4 years) and NY's 25% state tax credit (up to $5,000 with 5-year carryover) create an incentive stack that makes solar compelling even in Manhattan's dense urban environment.

A typical Chelsea 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 New York City's incentive stack, your total out-of-pocket cost after incentives is often 30–50% lower than the system price.
