What is your ZIP code?

Your ZIP code tells us which utility serves you, which state incentives apply, and whether an installer covers your area.

ZIP code

Do you own the property?

Solar is installed on the roof, so the owner has to be the one to agree to it.

Roughly what is your average monthly electric bill?

A band is fine. This is the single biggest factor in whether solar is worth doing on your home.

How much shade does your roof get between 9am and 3pm?

Shade during the middle of the day matters far more than shade early or late.

Where is the property?

The installer uses the address to measure your roof from aerial imagery before anyone visits.

We do not cover that ZIP code

Our installer partner covers New Jersey and Connecticut statewide, Long Island plus Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island in New York, and Southwest Florida. Your ZIP code is not in that footprint, so rather than take your details and waste your time, we are telling you now.

See exactly where we do cover, or read what happened to the federal tax credit before you speak to anyone else about solar.

Solar has to be agreed by whoever owns the roof

We are not able to help renters, and we would rather say so at question two than take your phone number first. If you can speak to your landlord or building owner, they are welcome to come back to us themselves.

In the meantime, if your electric bill is the problem, your utility almost certainly runs an energy assistance or efficiency program that is open to renters. It is worth a call to them.

What is specific to Brooklyn

Brooklyn is Con Edison territory and, like the rest of the Con Edison footprint, has had no standard NY-Sun residential rebate since May 29, 2025. Our Brooklyn coverage is concentrated in the southern and eastern parts of the borough where detached and semi-detached housing with private roofs is common, rather than the brownstone and apartment stock closer to the East River. Landmarked and historic districts add a review step that a Long Island install does not have, and shared party-wall roofs raise ownership questions that need answering before any system is designed.

What “no upfront cost” means. “No upfront cost” and “$0 down” refer to qualifying solar lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) financing, under which eligible homeowners may have no out-of-pocket cost at the time of installation. Solar panels are not free. Under a lease or PPA a third-party finance company owns the system and the homeowner makes monthly payments, typically over a 20 to 25 year term, often with an annual price escalator. Total payments may exceed the cash price of a comparable system. Eligibility depends on homeownership, credit, roof condition, shading, utility provider, location and other underwriting factors, and is not guaranteed.
