Why Now
Your Electric Bill Is Tied to the Middle East. It Doesn’t Have to Be.
Half of New York’s electricity comes from natural gas — and gas prices follow oil. Every rate hike, every geopolitical crisis, every “market adjustment” hits your mailbox a few months later.
Solar breaks that chain. Once your panels are on your roof, your energy cost is locked. No NYSEG rate hikes. No exposure to oil markets. No wondering what your bill will be next month.
We’re a locally owned team with deep roots in the Southern Tier. We know Upstate NY snow loads and historic housing stock.

FAQ
Common Questions
Why do NYSEG rates keep going up?
New York has the 4th highest electricity costs in the country — 50% above the national average. NYSEG raised rates 9.9% in 2025, the third consecutive year of increases. The drivers are grid infrastructure upgrades, data center demand, and natural gas volatility (half of NY’s power comes from gas, and gas tracks oil prices). Solar locks in your cost on day one — no more annual surprises.
How much do solar panels cost in the Binghamton area?
A typical residential system in the Southern Tier costs $15,000–$30,000 before incentives.
Do solar panels work well in Upstate New York snow?
Absolutely. Solar panels actually perform more efficiently in cooler temperatures. Snow slides off tilted panels quickly, and our systems are engineered for NY snow loads. Germany, with less sunlight than Binghamton, is one of the world’s top solar producers.
What happened to My Solar Grid? Can you service their systems?
My Solar Grid ceased operations, leaving many Southern Tier homeowners without support. We offer full maintenance, repair, and monitoring services for all existing installations.
What incentives are available in New York State?
New York State offers a personal income tax credit of 25% of qualified solar energy system equipment costs, limited to $5,000, for a system at your principal residence.
How long does a solar installation take?
The physical installation is typically completed in 1–2 days. The full process from consultation to activation takes 4–8 weeks, accounting for permitting and utility interconnection. We handle all paperwork and inspections for you.
