Brooklyn Solar Companies Near Me

Challenging Roofs

We say​ yes​ when other solar companies say ​no.​ Brooklyn homeowners are often told by other contractors that they can’t go solar because their flat roofs have too much shade, too much stuff, or not enough space. We have pioneered two innovative design methods that maximize solar project potential – even for “difficult” roofs that other solar companies simply can’t figure out.

• Our patented, award-winning ​Brooklyn Solar Canopy​ elevates solar systems over the most obstructed surfaces, maximizing solar performance on otherwise unworkable or flat roofs.
• Our smaller Tilt Rack installations, mounted closer to the surface, are designed to nimbly work around hatches, skylights and other common barriers for lower demand customers.

Low Demand

New Yorkers are highly energy efficient relative to the national average. Particularly for homeowners who rent one or more floors to tenants, monthly ConEd bills can be quite manageable. As a result, many local solar seekers require relatively small systems to meet their needs. However, for most solar companies small-scale installations like these are unappealing and not worth the effort. But at BSW we see opportunity where others see inconvenience. We have made serving low energy customers a core part of our business and regularly realize projects deemed too small to install by other Brooklyn solar companies.

Landmarked

Landmark status used to be considered disqualifying for solar. Not anymore. That’s because we’ve developed zero visibility installation methods and have mastered the City’s complex landmarks design and application rules. As a result solar is not only possible on these formerly “no go” properties; but landmarked homes are now among our most common project types in Park Slope, Bedford Stuyvesant, Sunset Park and other historic neighborhoods.

Living Space

Square footage is a cherished asset in Brooklyn, and rooftops are the new frontier for claiming more of it. Considering a deck or green roof, and wondering how solar can fit into your plans? Don’t worry, you can have both. Our patented and award-winning ​Brooklyn Solar Canopy​ both creates space for the amenity of your choice, while also enhancing it with shade, rain protection.

Co-Ops and Condos

Most Brooklyn homeowners live in multi-family buildings, such as co-ops, condos and rental properties. Whether for shared common area demand only or for individual unit consumption, BSW can offer different solar models that match your board’s specific goals and priorities. And since multi-family residents and property owners can take advantage of the same local, state and federal tax credits available to single-family homeowners, solar offers an impressive return while ​boosting overall property value​.
