After researching many solar companies, I decided to go with NY Solar — and I’m glad I did. From their account representative, Joseph Hawes, to the service crew and installation team, everyone was professional and met all of my expectations. Even when issues came up, they addressed them promptly. As you'll learn, there are many steps involved in the process before your panels are up and running. Throughout it all, NY Solar kept me informed and delivered everything on time, just as they promised. I highly recommend them to anyone considering going solar.

Nothing but headaches from the beginning. I’ve had blackout days of no solar recorded for days and weeks at times (I don't check the solar edge app all the time why would I have to if it worked) during peak time and I have lost out on banking. Anytime you call to get a question asked you are passed along or asked to leave your name and number and nothing happens. I paid cash for my panels, so I’ve donated to the cause. Avoid at all cost from my experience.

We were fortunate to work with Ramon Mariano with NY State Solar. Ramon was very nice, courteous and a true professional. He was extremely informative and took the time to answer several questions. Ramon explained everything thoroughly and there was no pressure whatsoever. The installation was efficiently and expeditiously completed as scheduled. Ramon followed-up every step of the way and we highly recommend him.

I know you are wary of new things. I was just like you. I asked a hundred questions and was happy with every answer. If you are lucky enough to have a representative of NYSS like Kareem Fadl you will be a new solar customer soon. Kareem was able to give me the technical information and statistics, but to explain it in terms that were easy to understand, which is so important when it comes to the savings, the rebates , the service and MOST importantly for Zero dollars down. I have heard all the no money deals throughout my life, I was a skeptic and you should be too, but sit down with a representative like Kareem or his team and let them answer every question. You don't have to take my word for it, do your work and see. Compare your electric bill with them, check out the reviews, ask for customer contacts, that was the final piece that sealed it for me, talk to someone IN YOUR community , that was a skeptic, just like you and I. If you want you can send me an email with or without a contact number and I would be happy to speak with you. Email Below Go Luck, Go Solar Mark Zguro Markzguro@yahoo.com

I have had the pleasure to have Benjamin Prasert, a program manager for NY State Solar work with me with this life changing switch to solar panels. Initially, I was not interested in having solar panels- the thought of having a loan for 30 years and the interest rate could flucuate. This information I received from many other solar panel companies- not able to bank your extra energy etc,.. However, Ben was able to explain the process to me- with NYSS, the process was different with no impact on my credit, I am able to bank my extra energy as well as many other important factors that led my decision to use NYSS for my solar panels company. Benjamin effectively explained and answered all of my questions and was patient with me while I was in the process of making my decision. I give Benjamin a lot of credit as it was apparent he was compassionate about his job and is also a customer. I am confident I made the right decision. I will also like to add, the crew that installed the solar panels were awesome as well. The panels was up and installed in less than an eight hour work shift. I was very pleased.

Decided to bite the bullet and go for solar. My parents used NYSS and had a generally positive experience so I decided to give them a shot. My salesperson Dan is very accommodating and I am happy to be working with him. Solar is a pretty confusing beast and I tend to have a lot of questions which Dan answers to the best of his abilities, and if he doesn't know the answer he always lets me know he will research it (which I appreciate rather than just someone who pretends they do and gives me the wrong answer.) A few notes if you're interested in Solar: 1. NYSS has a 25 year rent to own lease program which is not a "true" financing option where you own the system outright day one. However, NYSERDA has a 15 year $25k true loan option if you plan to install a small system like mine where you own the system outright. Interest rates are low right now so that's nice. However, the loan only goes through once the system has been completed. I'm not entirely certain how that's going on NYSS's end (but Dan is looking into it for me.) 2. PSEG may not allow Islanding, which is where you isolate from the grid in case the grid goes down and run off a solar powered backup generator/backup. We're still trying to figure this out because I wanted a battery back up that charges off the solar system rather than charging off my credits on the grid (since if the battery depletes, it depletes until the grid goes back up. It can last for about a week.) I'm not entirely certain if this is something that PSEG won't allow (some locations do not allow it), or if NYSS doesn't currently do. Dan is also looking into this for me. Even if the two things above are unable to be done satisfactorily for me, it wouldn't be Dan's fault and I am already more than happy with how fast and easy all the permitting process has been. I'll update the review after everything has been completed but I don't foresee many issues.

Working with NY State Solar has been a great experience. The install team did a fine job installing my system and worked quickly. My Program Manager was William Leverett and it has been a wonderful experience. I had an older roof and was able to get a brand new roof with the program. I am highly satisfied with the service provided. Highly recommend.

I had solar panels installed by NYSS in January 2025. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to go with New York State Solar (NYSS). The sales representative Franklin Cusma was knowledgeable, customer focused, engaging, and answered all the questions my wife and I had regarding switching to solar and the process from start to finish. Franklin's overall demeanor and honesty dealing with us was the driving reason for deciding to proceed with NYSS. For both the roof inspection, and on the day of installation the team came promptly in the morning and worked professionally, they were courteous, installed the components neatly, and kept me informed of their progress until the end. From start to finish, Franklin and the NYSS team provided exceptional expertise and guidance, making the entire process getting solar seamless. Their knowledge and attention to detail stood out, and I am extremely pleased the we chose NYSS for our solar needs. I now look forward to my future energy savings.
