Long Island Solar Pros
Residential Solar on Long Island
Residential solar on Long Island works because of three things colliding: high PSEG Long Island electric rates, the New York State 25% solar credit, and homes with usable roof exposure. We help homeowners across Suffolk and Nassau decide whether solar fits, plan a right-sized system around real usage, and choose a licensed local installer who can handle the design, permitting, install, and PSEG interconnection.
How residential solar pencils on Long Island
Three things drive residential solar economics on Long Island: relatively high PSEG Long Island electric rates, the New York State 25% residential solar energy system equipment credit (capped at $5,000), and PSEG Long Island net metering. Together, they meaningfully lower the effective net cost of a well-sized system.
A federal residential clean energy credit historically applied to qualified property installed from 2022 through December 31, 2025. Federal residential incentives have changed — we verify current eligibility for any active federal program during the consultation rather than assuming a federal credit on every quote.
Sizing the system around your actual usage
A right-sized residential solar system on Long Island matches annual production to annual usage, with some buffer for batteries, EV charging, or future load growth. Oversized systems waste money. Undersized systems leave value on the table.
The fastest way to right-size is your last 12 months of PSEG bills.
When residential solar does not make sense
A heavily shaded roof, a roof that needs to be replaced soon, or a home with very low annual electric usage are all reasons the planning conversation may steer you to wait. The point of the planning review is to tell you honestly when solar is not the right move — not to push solar onto homes where it does not work.
