Why go solar
Electric bills keep rising, and there’s no sign of that slowing down.
Going solar lets you lock in a lower energy cost and reduce your dependence on the utility company.
Instead of paying more every year, you’re putting that money toward an asset that works for you, generating your own power and protecting you from future rate increases.
New York Incentives
Most New York homeowners and building owners are eligible for valuable local incentives that can significantly lower the cost of going solar. Solanta helps you identify what you qualify for and handles the paperwork so nothing gets missed. We make sure you capture every available dollar upfront and over time.
