Many homeowners are turning to solar as a way to gain long-term energy stability.
Going solar doesn’t have to be complicated. Energo’s team of experts handle every step – so your experience is seamless from start to finish.
Going solar doesn’t have to be complicated. Energo handles the full project in-house — roof work, permits, electrical upgrades, and installation across NYC and beyond. Book a free consultation and find out what your home qualifies for.
We handle everything — from your first site assessment to final inspection. Our local installers design a system around your home, your roof, and how your household uses energy. Permits, paperwork, utility interconnection. All of it. You don’t have to lift a finger.
From the initial assessment to installation and inspection, Energo helps coordinate the stages of your solar project.
What we provide:
New York’s solar incentives and rebates are among the most generous in the country — making it easier and more affordable than ever to go solar.
| INCENTIVE | DETAILS |
|---|---|
|
New York State Income Tax Credit
|
NY State residents are eligible for a 25% tax credit (up to $5,000).
|
|
NY State Sales Tax
|
The 4% sales tax is waived for solar energy equipment and installation services.
|
|
NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement
|
Meant to encourage the adoption of solar energy throughout the city, the NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement covers 30% of your installation costs and reduces your property tax bill over 4 consecutive years.
|
|
NY State Solar Rebate
|
The NY-Sun Megawatt Block Rebate is run by NYSERDA. It divides the state into regions with designated megawatt allocations. The exact incentive amount depends on project size and location, and incentives are structured to phase out overtime. Only households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) remain eligible to receive $0.80/watt.
|
|
Net Metering
|
Residential customers are eligible to receive 1:1 bill credits – meaning your utility credits you for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of excess energy you send back to the grid.

Energo experts will walk you through every incentive and rebate you qualify for.
Planning roof work, considering battery storage or adding an EV charger? Energo can help you evaluate how solar fits into your home’s energy needs.
Before solar panels are installed, Energo evaluates your roof’s condition and identifies any preparation needed. We coordinate required roof work and electrical upgrades as part of your solar project, helping you understand what your home needs before your solar panel installation begins.
Store electricity generated by your solar panels for use later in the day. Energo evaluates battery storage options for your home and helps determine whether the proposed system can support selected circuits during an outage, based on its overall capacity and configuration. Get started today to explore all options.
Planning to charge an electric vehicle at home? Energo evaluates solar and EV charging together, with licensed electricians reviewing your electrical capacity. We identify any panel upgrades or dedicated circuits needed so your charging setup is planned around your home and vehicle.
Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity for your home. Whether rooftop solar is suitable depends on your roof’s condition, available space, sunlight exposure and electrical setup. Energo helps you understand your options and the work involved, from system design and permitting to installation.
No two homes are the same. We design systems based on:
It may. If you are replacing the entire existing roof deck or roof assembly on your NYC home, Local Law 92 and Local Law 94 may require a sustainable roofing zone. That zone can be satisfied with a solar PV system, a green roof, or a combination of both. Routine repairs and basic roof membrane work generally do not trigger the same requirement, but full roof replacement work should be reviewed before the project begins.
Many homeowners only learn about LL92 and LL94 after they have already started planning a roof replacement. That can make the process more complicated if solar was not considered early. When roof work and solar are evaluated together, homeowners can better understand what the law requires, how much usable roof area is available, and which incentives may apply to the project.
Energo evaluates each home for LL92/94 applicability during the solar site assessment. If your planned roof work triggers the requirement, we can help design a system that satisfies the law, supports your home’s energy goals, and qualifies for available NYC, state, and federal solar incentives.
Answers to common questions about your home's suitability, installation requirements and next steps.
Suitability depends on your roof's condition, available space, sunlight exposure and your home's electrical infrastructure. Shade from nearby buildings or trees can affect how much electricity a system produces. Energo evaluates these factors during a site assessment to help determine whether rooftop solar is appropriate for your property and what work may be needed before installation.
Energo reviews your household's electricity use, usable roof area and shading to plan a system around your property's requirements. The proposed design includes an estimate of electricity production. Actual production varies with weather, seasonal conditions, equipment performance and maintenance.
Yes. Solar panels connected to a building's electrical or structural systems require NYC Department of Buildings permits and inspections. Electrical installation work must be carried out by NYC-licensed electricians or workers under their supervision. Energo helps coordinate system design, permitting and installation requirements as part of the proposed project.
With a grid-connected solar system, your home remains connected to the utility. It can use electricity produced by the panels during daylight and draw electricity from the grid when solar production does not meet its needs, including at night. Utility interconnection requirements and approval must be addressed before the system is operated. Energo helps you understand the connection process for your property.
Rooftop solar may be possible, but a shared roof means the project generally needs approval from the building's board or other governing body. Roof rights, building rules, structural conditions and the electrical setup all affect what can be installed. Energo can discuss a building-level assessment with your board or property manager to review the options and requirements.
Rooftop solar equipment often remains with the property, but the sale process depends on system ownership and any associated agreements. Review your installation documents, ownership terms and equipment warranties before listing the home. Any transfer requirements should be checked with the relevant provider and your real estate or legal adviser. Warranty transferability depends on the applicable terms and should be confirmed rather than assumed.
Yes. The roof must be structurally suitable for the proposed installation, and its condition should be reviewed before panels are fitted. Energo evaluates the roof as part of the site assessment and identifies whether roof preparation, repairs or other work may be needed. Any required roof work should be addressed in the project plan before installation begins.
