Utility power vs. rooftop solar
Stay utility-only
Rates change
You keep buying all of your electricity from the utility as rates rise or fall over time.
Go solar
Buy less
Your roof produces energy, reducing the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the utility.
We compare utility-only service with a solar option designed for your roof and energy use - without advertising a one-size-fits-all savings number.
Your Home, Your Solar Plan

See how solar can reduce your reliance on the utility.

We review your bill, roof, shade, and goals, then show how much of your electricity a right-sized solar system could produce.

What we review

Your electricity use, roof condition, shade, equipment options, and the lease or purchase path that fits your goals.

Your results depend on energy use, weather, system design, utility rules, and the agreement you choose. We explain those factors before you sign.

Why solar can save

Produce more at home. Buy less from the grid.

Your roof

Solar turns available roof space into electricity for your home, which can reduce the energy you purchase from the utility.

Your actual bill still depends on usage, weather, system production, utility charges, and the payment option you choose.

Two ways to go solar

Lease it.
Or own it.

Leasing can lower the upfront hurdle; purchasing gives you ownership. We make both options easy to compare so you can choose what fits your home and budget.

Most popular
Option A — Lease

Start solar without buying the equipment.

A lease provider owns the equipment while you use the solar it produces. We walk you through the monthly payment, term, maintenance, transfer, and end-of-agreement choices.

  • Lower upfront hurdle — see the payment and any property-security terms before you choose.
  • Predictable solar terms — pricing, production commitments, and service are set by the provider agreement.
  • Service may be included — your agreement shows maintenance, monitoring, exclusions, and customer costs.
  • Up to 90% production guarantee — some participating lease providers offer a guarantee covering up to 90% of estimated production. The provider—not State Solar—backs it. Review its agreement for availability, exclusions, measurement, and remedies.
  • Tax benefits stay with the owner — lease customers generally do not claim benefits belonging to the system owner. Lease
Build equity
Option B — Purchase

Own your system. Keep eligible ownership benefits.

Buy outright or finance the purchase. We show you the equipment, payment choices, ownership details, and incentives that may fit your home.

  • Resale potential — research from Zillow and Berkeley Lab found sale-price premiums for solar homes, particularly host-owned systems. Actual value varies and is not guaranteed.
  • Potential tax benefits — available benefits depend on ownership and eligibility; ask a qualified tax professional what you can claim.
  • NYC property-tax relief — qualifying NYC projects may access the incentive described below.
  • Utility bill credits — eligible exports are treated under the applicable utility tariff. Both
  • Documentation package included — we prep everything your accountant needs at tax time.

Battery & blackout resilience

Design backup around essential loads.

A properly designed battery may support selected essential loads during an outage. Available power and duration depend on battery capacity, state of charge, equipment demand, controls, and operating conditions. Ask us to model the loads that matter to your home.

EV charging

Ask whether a Level 2 EV charger promotion applies to your project.

Some qualifying projects can include a Level 2 charger promotion. We confirm the included equipment and standard installation scope before you choose; panel, trenching, or wiring upgrades cost extra.

"Got quotes from three companies. State Solar walked the roof and explained the production estimate panel by panel before the project moved forward."
Renee K.Homeowner · Staten Island, NY
"Did the roof and panels together on a house that needed both anyway. Old slate had to come off carefully and they didn't try to upsell us on anything we didn't need. Final price came in about $1,200 over the original quote because of unexpected sheathing rot — they showed us the wood before replacing it."

A lease or power-purchase provider may own the system while you pay for the solar service it provides. We help you compare the upfront cost, payment schedule, term, service, transfer choices, and any production guarantee before you sign.
Eligible New York homeowners may claim 25% of qualified solar costs, up to $5,000. Eligible NYC projects may also receive a property-tax abatement totaling up to 30% of eligible installation cost, within program caps. Incentives generally go to the system owner, so ask a qualified tax professional to confirm your eligibility before relying on them.
Suitability depends on structure, roof condition, orientation, shading, fire setbacks, electrical capacity, permitting, and utility requirements. We assess those items and document whether coordinated roof work is recommended.
Owned solar may help a home stand out at resale. Zillow research found homes with solar sold for 4.1% more on average in its 2018-2019 national analysis, and a Berkeley Lab study found premiums for host-owned systems across multiple markets. Results vary by market, ownership, system age and condition, financing, and buyer preferences; no resale premium is guaranteed. A sale may also require payoff, transfer, consent, or other steps under the agreement.
Panels can produce in winter, but output varies with irradiance, temperature, snow cover, orientation, shading, and equipment. The production model includes seasonal variation. Any exported-generation credits follow the applicable tariff, including its valuation and rollover rules.
Yes. Grid-connected customers continue to receive utility statements and may owe fixed, delivery, usage, tax, or other charges. Solar production and bill credits vary by season, usage, system performance, and the applicable tariff; your proposal explains the modeled outcome without promising a particular bill.
A standard grid-connected solar system shuts down during an outage unless approved backup equipment is installed. A properly designed battery may support selected loads; capability and duration depend on capacity, state of charge, demand, controls, and operating conditions.
Approval criteria, credit inquiry type, upfront payment, security interest or lien terms, and other financing conditions vary by provider and agreement. We disclose the applicable requirements before you authorize a credit check or sign.
