Manhattan Solar Energy Installation
New York City never sleeps, and that’s why it needs a reliable, clean energy source. From Harlem to Greenwich Village, Manhattan’s residential neighborhoods hold major solar potential. With some of the best solar incentives available to homeowners and electricity costs on the rise, there’s never been a better time for Manhattanites to go solar.
Founded in Brooklyn with the Big Apple in mind, Brooklyn SolarWorks are the local residential solar panel installation experts.

Solar Installation for Manhattan’s Flat Roof Homes
Manhattan’s architecture is as diverse and unique as its people. Its townhomes, however, share similar attributes: they typically have flat roofs and share walls with adjacent buildings, unlike sloped, suburban homes. For this reason, conventional solar models are a poor fit for the homes of Manhattan.
And that’s where we come in: we’ve developed two unique, made in NY solar solutions built specifically for New York City’s roofs.

Manhattan Solar Cost
Manhattan is a borough unlike any other, and the solar techniques its homes require are no different. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for solar in NYC, and looking into solar panel pricing in any other area of the country, or even the Tri-State area, won’t give you a good idea of what it might cost for you here. That’s why our team will always perform an in-person assessment of your roof prior to quoting a project – no virtual estimates here.

Manhattan Neighborhoods Going Solar
We’re proud to service all eight miles of Manhattan, but there’s a few neighborhoods who’ve become true solar ambassadors.

Harlem
A cultural epicenter with a rich history, Harlem is home to beautiful brownstones – many of which have adopted solar as a form of renewable energy.
Hell’s Kitchen
Just west of Midtown lies Hell’s Kitchen, a lively residential neighborhood with plenty of solar power.
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village is known for its bars, comedy clubs, NYU buildings, and of course, Washington Square Park. Soon, it’ll be known for its solar powered brownstones, too!
