Why Go Solar in Staten Island?

Staten Island homeowners on Staten Island have some of the best solar conditions in NYC — larger lots, less shading from adjacent buildings, and strong sun exposure. Con Edison rates of 24–32¢/kWh combined with NYC's 30% property tax abatement and NY's 25% state tax credit make the economics particularly compelling.

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