Two ways to go solar

Lease it.
Or own it.

Most homeowners start with the lease — nothing out of pocket, lower bills immediately, everything handled. If you'd rather own the asset and claim the incentives yourself, we'll run those numbers too. Same crew, same panels, your call.

$0 down. Lower bill day one.

We own the equipment and the headaches. You get the clean power at a rate that beats — and stays below — the utility.

$0 upfront — no loan, no down payment, no lien on your home.
Immediate monthly savings — your combined solar + utility bill is lower from the first month.
Maintenance & monitoring included — repairs, parts, and panel-level monitoring for the life of the agreement.
Production guarantee — if the system underproduces, we make up the difference.
Federal ITC handled for you — it flows to the leasing company and comes back as your lower payment. Nothing to file. Lease

Option B — Purchase

Own the asset. Claim the incentives.

Buy the system outright or finance it. You own it free and clear, and the state and city incentives are yours to keep.

You own the system — adds value to your home, no monthly lease payment.
NY State Tax Credit — 25% of system cost, capped at $5,000, on your state return. Both
NYC Property Tax Abatement — 30% of cost spread over four years off your property tax. Both
Net metering credits — sell excess production back to the grid. Both
Documentation package included — we prep everything your accountant needs at tax time.

"Went with the $0-down lease and my combined bill dropped the very first month. No surprise charges, no upfront cost. I keep waiting for the catch and it hasn't come."

Renee K.Homeowner · Staten Island, NY

"We added a Powerwall after a bad storm knocked out the block for two days. Last outage, our neighbors were in the dark and our fridge and heat never blinked. Same crew did the panels and the battery."

Marcus & Lin T.Homeowners · Bergen County, NJ

"I bought instead of leasing because I wanted the state tax credit and the property tax abatement. They handed my accountant a complete package — every form, organized. Filing was painless."

We design, install, and own the system on your roof at no upfront cost to you. You pay only for the power it produces — at a rate set below what your utility charges, locked in for the life of the agreement. Maintenance, repairs, and monitoring are all included. From month one, your combined solar-plus-utility bill is lower than what you were paying before.

If you lease, the federal Investment Tax Credit goes to the leasing company that owns the equipment — and that value is passed back to you in the form of a lower monthly payment. You don't file anything for it; it's already baked into your rate. If you purchase, your savings come from the New York State Tax Credit (25%, up to $5,000) and the NYC Property Tax Abatement (30% over four years), which we help you claim. We size your numbers around the incentives that actually apply to your path.

Most are. South, east, and west-facing roofs all work, and modern panels produce well even with partial shade. We assess pitch, orientation, age, and shading during your free consultation. If your roof needs work first, we're GAF-certified and can do roof and panels together on one permit — often the smartest time to do both.

If you own the system, it stays with the home and typically increases its sale value — homes with solar sell for more. If you lease, the agreement transfers to the new owner (who inherits the lower energy rate, usually an easy sell), or it can be bought out at closing. We walk you through the transfer paperwork either way — it's routine.

Yes. Panels run on light, not heat — cold, clear winter days are actually highly productive. Snow usually slides off the smooth, angled glass within a day or two, and your system is designed around full-year production including seasonal dips. Net metering banks your summer surplus to cover shorter winter days.

You'll stay connected to the grid, so you'll still get a utility statement — but it'll be a fraction of what it was, often just a small fixed connection charge. On sunny months you may build net-metering credits that roll forward and offset your darker months. The goal is simple: move the bulk of your spend off the utility and onto your own system.

Solar alone shuts off in an outage for grid-safety reasons. To keep your lights on, you add battery backup — a Tesla Powerwall — which we design and install alongside your array on the same permit. With a battery, your essentials (fridge, heat, Wi-Fi, medical equipment) keep running while the grid is down. Ask us whether battery backup makes sense for your home.

The lease has friendlier credit requirements than a typical home loan — most homeowners qualify with fair-to-good credit, since the equipment itself backs the agreement. There's no down payment and no lien on your home. We run a soft check during your consultation that won't affect your score, and we'll tell you exactly where you stand before anything is signed.
