Title: Excellent Service and Remarkable Results! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with Farrah Vaswani from a solar panel company, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations. Farrah's exceptional customer service, attentiveness, and expertise made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the very beginning, Farrah showed genuine care and understanding for my family's specific needs. She took the time to listen attentively, asking detailed questions to ensure she had a comprehensive understanding of our requirements. Her knowledge and expertise in the field allowed her to present us with the best options tailored to our energy needs and financial goals. One of the aspects I appreciated the most about working with Farrah was her transparency throughout the entire process. She provided us with a clear and concise breakdown of the installation procedure, explaining each step in a way that was easy to comprehend. Her professionalism and dedication to making everything transparent made us feel confident and comfortable in our decision. The installation itself was a breeze, thanks to Farrah's meticulous planning and coordination. She ensured that everything went smoothly and efficiently, and the project was completed in a remarkably short time. The team she recommended for the installation was highly skilled and professional, leaving no room for any concerns or issues. Since the installation of the solar panels, the results have been nothing short of remarkable. Our electric bill has significantly decreased, and we are now saving a considerable amount of money each month. It's truly gratifying to see the positive impact on both the environment and our finances. I highly recommend Farrah Vaswani and the solar panel company she represents. Her exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction are unmatched. If you're considering solar panels, Farrah is the person you want to work with. Her expertise will guide you towards the best options available, and she will ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience from start to finish. Thank you, Farrah, for your outstanding service!

PSEG bill cut by $600+ instantly
Our home was recently built so my wife and I had some reservations about not getting solar. Before the kids, our electric bills were around $150. Ten years later they ballooned to well over $600 a month-and that was on a budget (yes we have a pool). Realizing we had to do something we called the highest rated solar installer in NYS, NY State Solar. Throughout the process, our facilitator, Ben Prasert, went above and beyond making everything seamless. Ben was able to hide the panels in such a way that it didn’t take away from the beauty of the home while maintaining an effective collection of solar energy. He came up with multiple designs and ideas to best meet our (many) needs. The entire process, including installation took two months and we couldn’t be more happier with the results. My family gives NY State Solar our highest recommendation.

So happy I choose this company
I had my solar panels installed today. The crew that came said they would be here at 8 a.m. and showed up exactly on time. They were all very polite and very efficient. From start to finish took about 4 1/2 hours. Cleaned up everything and explained the whole system to my husband and I. Jessica was our salesperson. She was amazing. Explained the entire process to us step by step. Not pushy at all and gave us time to make up our minds. Answered all my crazy texts because I was a little worried about transitioning to solar. What can I say she is just awesome. I recommend this company 100% and now I am looking forward to saving money.

Outstanding experience!
We are extremely happy that we went with NY State Solar for our solar panel system. From the moment we met with our Salesperson Jessica Knesel, the process went smoothly from beginning to end. While we had discussion with other company sales reps, Jessica's professionalism truly sold us on New York State Solar. She kept us informed throughout the entire process, answered all our questions and truly made the difference. I'd happily recommend Jessica Knesel and NY State Solar without any reservations.

This experience has been so pleasant and easy thanks to Jessica Knesel and the team of installers and inspectors and everyone else connected to the installation of our new solar panels. From the minute we met with Jessica, who answered all our questions, which were many, to the day the installers came and did a wonderful, professional job, I found everyone to be upfront and honest about everything. The deal was too good to be true but it was and we’re more than thrilled with every facet of this endeavor. I am recommending Jessica and this company to everyone I know. We were very lucky that they found us because my husband never wanted to do it and when we finally decided to, we were very fortunate to have found NY State Solar. Do not hesitate. They are honest and trustworthy and just a great company!

I was impressed with Jessica from NYSSolar to arrange coming by my house to meet my family and I, and remind us about filling for our tax credits. I expected to have to fend for myself regarding the tax credits, but was relieved to have Jessica come by and refresh us about the process. She made me feel more comfortable wth the process and it was nice to feel that NYSSolar is by my side after having already purchased the panels. It was also nice to see a bill from ConEd saying that my balance was "None." They actually write that on the bill. I'm reassured on a monthly basis that I made the right decision by installing the panels

NY State Solar made it so easy.
This is an email I have to the boss of Steve Pantelis of NY State Solar about how happy I am with Steve, NY State Solar, and my solar panels. Hi Jim, I am writing this email to say how great Steve Pantelis is. My family is about to have our solar panels installed by your company. Steve came to my house and immediately I could see he has a great personality. He is friendly and not pushy at all. He was equipped with all the information on the product and on your company. He let your product and your company's greatness do the selling. Steve is always in contact with me and checking that everything is going ok. Steve makes everything so easy. I was in sales for over 20 years, helped others run their business, and even had a couple businesses on my own. I can tell when a person has skill sets and talents that are above what most people have. I call it the secret sauce -- a mixer of talents and skill sets you cannot describe in words. You can sense it in a person's conversation and mannerisms. Steve has this secret sauce. I see from reviews and your website you have an excellent company and Steve just reinforces all your company has to offer. My wife and I are very happy with Steve, and we have not even received the solar panels yet. We will definitely recommend your company to others. I am sure when people see all those panels on our house, which is a lot they will ask us where we got them from. I will definitely give them Steve and your company NYSS (NY State Solar) information. I will also do a YELP review on my experience. My family would like to thank you, your company, and Steve for all you are doing. We are grateful and cannot wait for our solar panels to be installed.

Very pleased
We installed solar with NYS Solar in the past year, and have been very pleased. Everything worked out exactly as their representative Zack had told me it would. Keith was also a pleasure to speak with during a post install follow up. It’s a multi-part process, but the key pieces are that : 1. No money down. They open a loan for you to start the process for the cost of the system. 2. You get a 26% federal tax credit and $5k from NY. This money came back to us when we filed our taxes, and pays off the above loan. 3. The remaining balance is paid via loan in monthly installments that shows up on the electric bill for 15 years. In 2020 our electric bills were out of control and through 2021 averaged $180 per month. The monthly bill now is the loan of $135 per month plus the $15-$17 fee from pseg to be hooked up to the grid. Total bill is about $152 per month. You cannot argue with the fact that for the next 15 years my bill is essentially locked at a lower figure than it was, and there is no doubt that the cost of electricity will only go up. In 15 years my bill will only be the $15-17 pseg fee. As expected, we produced more electricity in the spring/ summer than fall/winter, but surplus electricity is banked with pseg, and is rolled over monthly. We produced 11,300 kWh last year, and have a substantial surplus; I have no concerns of usage exceeding production. NYS Solar took care of all the paperwork. They did a neat professional install and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their workmanship and the outcome of the process. They kept every promise they made and I cant recommend them enough.

Amazing Company
I just had solar panels put in by NY State Solar. The salesman, Franklin Cusma, was amazing. He explained everything to us in great detail and in terms that we could easily understand. He was always quick to respond by text with any questions we had. He made the whole process extremely comfortable. He walked us through the permit process and how the paperwork would be done. The paperwork and permit process was extremely easy and very efficient. We had a massive system installed and it was done within the time frame we were told. The installers were all very professional and did a walk through with us once the installation was completed. Looking forward to living with solar

Happy with Install Process and Results
I decided to go Solar at the end of 2021. 22 Panels were installed in early 2022, after all permits were acquired. First month up and running was March. Fast forward to my June PSEG bill: generated more electric than used. Electric bill portion of my bill was $17! The rest was the financing of the panels, which we opted to do when we ran the numbers. Jamie Scott was our Program Manager. Couldn’t be more happy with him and NY State Solar

Honest, professional, and fantastic work!
I have always been skeptical of solar companies but I was approached by Franklin Cusma, NY State Solar salesman, who was upfront and honest from the get go. I stressed to him my concerns and he was extremely versed in explaining step by step how the whole process works. He answered my text messages, calls, and emails right away and even came to my house to go over all the paperwork. After a few days we had the ball rolling and it was an extremely smooth process. I even got a few incentives (nest thermostats and a new roof) that allowed me to truly say yes to this company. The installation took one day and the panels look great. The back of my roof faces the south and the sun is energizing the panels. If you were skeptical like me, then give Franklin a call and he will give you his honest opinion if the solar panels would be beneficial to your cost of living and provide enough energy to even consider getting them. Thank you Franklin, and thank you NY State Solar!
