New York solar guide
Find a verified solar installer in New York City, NY
New York City homeowners face tight lots, shared walls, and building rules that suburban owners do not. A free satellite roof check is a low-effort first step before you compare verified, licensed installers. Solar Entry does not install.
Solar in New York City: what to know locally
Solar in the city often means small or shared roofs, parapets, roof equipment, and neighboring buildings that cast shade. The roof check helps you see usable space before you schedule visits, and the installer confirms the details on site.
Ownership matters a great deal. One- and two-family homeowners in parts of Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx have the simplest path. Co-ops, condos, and apartment buildings usually need board or management approval.
Con Edison serves most of the city, but confirm on your bill. Some buildings are in landmark or historic districts, where exterior changes can require extra review, and the city has its own building and roofing rules. Ask the city and your installer what applies to your building.

Frequently asked questions
Does Solar Entry install solar in New York City?
No. Solar Entry does not install. We offer a free satellite roof check and help New York City homeowners choose verified, licensed installers, including Infinity Solar, an installer partner that works in New York and Connecticut.
Can I go solar if I live in a co-op, condo, or apartment?
Usually the board, association, or building owner makes that decision. If you own a one- or two-family house, the roof check is a good place to start. Otherwise, ask your board or landlord what is allowed.
Who is my electric utility in the city?
Con Edison serves most of New York City, but check your electric bill and confirm current interconnection steps with your utility or installer.
Will neighboring buildings block my sun?
They might. The satellite roof check shows shading from above, and installers assess it on site. Compare quotes based on realistic production.
Does landmark or historic-district status affect solar?
It can. Buildings in designated districts may need extra approval for visible exterior changes. Ask the city whether your address is covered before you finalize a design.
Which New York incentives should I check?
Look at state programs such as NY-Sun, tax exemptions, and financing options, and confirm current terms directly, since they change.
