Solar for Commercial Buildings in NYC


Runaway ConEd bills can be an outsize factor for any local business’s bottom line. Solar can both lower energy costs and make them more predictable, while communicating a clear environmental commitment to an increasingly climate conscious public.

Local businesses also enjoy access to special additional canopy rebates and low cost “on-bill” financing supported by New York State. Ask us about both!
