How it works

Your roof makes the power first.

Your panels make power and your house uses it first. You only buy from NYSEG, RG&E, or National Grid for whatever's left.

What New York gives you

How the NYS programs work.

01

Save up to 40%

Most of your savings come from using the power you make instead of buying it. Our estimates start at a conservative 20%. Qualifying homes save up to 40%.

02

No down payment

$0 down means the system is financed, not free. Qualifying homeowners pay nothing at install.

03

Savings from month one

Once the system is on and connected to the grid, it starts cutting what you buy from the utility. Savings start the first month.

04

NYSERDA / NY-Sun

Happy Solar is a NY-Sun participating contractor. The incentive depends on your project, location, and remaining program funds, so we quote it on your actual design instead of guessing here.

05

NYS $5,000 tax credit

New York gives back 25% of your equipment cost, up to $5,000, on your state taxes. We walk you through claiming it.

06

Stop chasing rate hikes

Utility rates in New York have been climbing. The less of your bill you buy from NYSEG, RG&E, or National Grid, the less those hikes touch you.
