NY State Solar
Detailed Profile
NY State Solar has established itself as a focused, locally operated solar installer serving the New York City metropolitan area from its headquarters at 385 West John Street in Hicksville. Over the past ten years, the company has built a portfolio of thousands of residential solar installations across Long Island, New York City's outer boroughs, and Westchester County, earning a 4.8-star Google rating from 1,077 reviewers in the process.
The company's strongest asset is its deep integration with New York's solar incentive ecosystem. NY State Solar has been one of the leading installers working through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to connect homeowners with state-backed financing programs, tax credits, and rebate structures that can significantly reduce the upfront cost of going solar. Navigating NYSERDA's requirements, combined with federal tax credits and local utility incentives, is a process that confuses many homeowners, and NY State Solar's team has developed particular expertise in walking customers through those overlapping programs.
Their NABCEP-certified installation team handles the full project lifecycle in-house, from initial site assessment and system design through permitting, installation, and utility interconnection. The fact that the entire operation is locally based, with offices across Long Island and New York City, means customers are working with people who understand the specific roof types, building codes, and utility requirements of their neighborhoods. That local knowledge matters in a market where a brownstone in Brooklyn presents fundamentally different installation challenges than a ranch home in Nassau County.
NY State Solar's review profile at 1,077 Google reviews is one of the largest among locally owned installers in the state, and their 4.8-star average at that volume suggests a high degree of consistency in customer experience. Some reviewers have noted occasional delays during peak installation season, but the overall pattern is one of responsive communication, quality workmanship, and systems that perform as designed.
With a composite score of 71.1 out of 100, NY State Solar holds the third-ranked position among New York solar companies in our 2026 ratings.
