Stop paying 38¢ a kWh to Con Edison.
Westchester homeowners pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country — and Con Edison raises them by about 8% every year. Solar locks in a lower rate from day one, with $0 out of pocket required.
Your bill isn’t just high — it’s designed to keep growing
The average Westchester homeowner pays 38¢ per kWh for electricity — and many pay up to 52¢ during peak periods. That alone is nearly double the national average.
But the supply rate is only part of the story. Your Con Edison bill is split into two charges: supply and delivery. The delivery charge — the cost to transmit electricity to your home — has grown to account for nearly half of most Westchester bills, and it compounds with every rate increase.
Con Edison has raised residential rates by an average of 8% per year over the past decade. That means a $300 bill today becomes roughly $444 in just 5 years if nothing changes.
Solar doesn’t eliminate your utility bill entirely, but it dramatically reduces — and stabilizes — the largest variable component: the supply charge. And in Westchester’s strong sun environment, a properly sized system can cover 80–100% of your annual usage.
Typical Westchester Monthly Bill
Illustrative example based on avg Westchester 800–1,000 kWh/month household. Actual bills vary.
Westchester is one of the strongest solar markets in New York
High rates, excellent sun exposure, and strong state incentives make going solar here one of the smartest financial moves a homeowner can make.
38¢
Rate that makes solar pencil out fast
At 38¢/kWh — with some households hitting 52¢ — every kilowatt-hour your panels produce displaces an expensive utility kilowatt-hour. The payback math works decisively in your favor.
9 / 5
Summer and winter sun hours
Westchester averages 9 sun hours per day in summer and 5 in winter. Year-round, that’s strong enough production to offset the majority of an average household’s consumption.
$0
Out of pocket to get started
Through NY’s solar lease and PPA options, you can go solar with no upfront cost — and typically see a lower monthly payment than your current Con Edison bill from the very first month.
NY State stacks incentives specifically for homeowners like you
Even without a large upfront payment, New York’s incentive structure makes solar accessible and financially compelling.
NY-Sun Megawatt Block Rebate (NYSERDA)
A per-watt rebate paid directly to your installer, reducing the cost of your system before you see the quote. Con Edison territory homeowners in Westchester qualify for the current rebate tier — no paperwork on your end.
New York State Tax Credit — 25% (up to $5,000)
A direct credit against your NY State income tax bill — not a deduction, an actual credit. Stackable on top of other incentives and applied the tax year after your installation.
Property Tax Exemption (15 years)
Solar adds real value to your home, but New York law exempts that added value from property tax assessment for 15 years. Your home is worth more; your tax bill doesn’t go up.
Net Metering — Full Retail Credit
Excess power your panels produce flows back to the Con Edison grid. You receive credit at the full retail rate — currently 38¢/kWh — and unused credits roll forward month to month.
$0 Down Financing Options
Solar lease and PPA programs mean no upfront cost and no loan. You pay a fixed monthly rate — typically lower than your current bill — while the installer covers equipment and maintenance.

Common questions from Westchester homeowners
In most cases, yes. With a solar lease or PPA, your fixed monthly solar payment is typically lower than the portion of your Con Edison bill it replaces. At 38¢/kWh, the math tends to work strongly in your favor from the first bill. We show you the side-by-side comparison before you sign anything.
No. Solar lease and PPA options require $0 upfront. You pay a fixed monthly rate and State Solar covers equipment, installation, monitoring, and maintenance for the term of the agreement. If you’d prefer to own the system outright, we also offer $0-down loan options.
Not completely. Con Edison still charges a minimum delivery fee for grid connection (typically $15–25/month). But the supply charge — which is usually the largest part of your bill — gets largely or fully offset by net metering credits from your panels. Most Westchester customers reduce their Con Edison bill by 70–95%.
Installation itself takes 1–2 days for most residential systems. The longer timeline is permitting: Westchester town timelines vary from 2 to 6 weeks. Con Edison’s interconnection approval typically takes 4–8 weeks after installation. We manage every step and keep you updated throughout.
