Five Reasons to Work For NY State Solar
NY State Solar was founded on the principle mission to facilitate New York State’s NY-Sun on-bill recovery program.
We recognized the historic opportunity for New York residents to leverage their tax dollars to save money and help our state’s clean energy future.
There are many reasons to jump into the solar industry, but here’s why we believe we’re an awesome company to work for ?
- Exciting Work Environment: Solar is an exciting industry to work in. In fact, clean energy jobs are helping to build a new American clean economy. We took that into account when we opened in 2015. From our in-house ping pong tables and Super Nintendo to company trips to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, we believe that an exciting workplace is vital to a healthy organization.
- Your Voice Matters: As New York’s premiere solar company, we believe in respecting not just our communities but our employees. Our employees are family, and family matters. If you have a concern, feedback, or want to make a contribution beyond your job title, we embrace all feedback. We are rooted in community engagement and promote productive growth that works for all parties – not just the hard-nosed bottom-line.
- Growth: We are a growing company of entrepreneurs, designers, operators, collaborators, thinkers, and, most importantly – human beings. We all strive to grow and learn more not just about ourselves, but about the work we dedicate our lives to. That’s why always look to grow from within. Your performance will predicate your growth in the company before all else.
- Flexibility: We get it – Working on a Sunday when the big game is on can be a bummer. Although we are open seven days a week, our dynamic schedule allows for you to optimize your life.
- Meaningful Work: Every human being contributes to a larger cause – but few jobs are as hands-on in making a positive contribution to the world as working in the solar industry. When you work for NY State Solar, you help homeowners access a program intended to benefit them – no complicated leases or traps. Beyond monetary savings, the average solar installation will contribute the same environmental benefit as planting 50 trees per year. With as many solar systems as we install, your life’s work will be felt for generations – leaving New York more clean and sustainable than we found it.
We are always looking to bring in new family members. If you think you’re a good fit to join our organization, join us this Thursday, Oct. 18, at 6:30 P.M. at 2545 Hempstead Turnpike (Suite 400) in East Meadow, NY for our Solar Career Expo.

How New York Residents Can Help Fight Climate Change
Earth’s climate is headed toward catastrophe unless we all do our part, according to a new study produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
People often discuss what they might have done during pivotal historical events had they been alive to experience them. Far too few ask how their actions today will immediately impact the world for generations to come.
Our micro-actions foster macro-impact. For every person that decides to take public transportation instead of a car, opts for a meat-free meal, or selects a biodegradable product, we trigger a network effect. We create a green economy – one more sustainable for all. Bigger decisions like what car to drive, how to plan your next vacation and green energy solutions to power your home take far more consideration.
One of the most impactful ways a New York homeowner can begin to facilitate change is through solar energy. New York homeowners can leverage taxpayer incentives to take control of their energy production, slash their monthly electric bill, and most importantly take a stand against climate change. The average solar system contributes roughly the same impact that planting 50 trees has on the environment.
When a homeowner takes the first step to learn more about NY-Sun’s on-bill recovery program, they empower their families, neighborhoods, and global community. Even though less than 25 percent of New York homeowners will qualify for the program, receiving a solar education and the obstacles to make the switch are equally important. If you don’t qualify, perhaps a family member or close friend will.
We all want to be on the right side of history. It starts with how we treat each other and our planet – the only one we have.
Learn more about NY-Sun now and if you are eligible to qualify for the best way to go solar.

New York Solar Roundup: One Path Forward
One Path Forward
The Million Strong Solar Coalition recently rallied in Albany to urge Governor Cuomo to create one million solar New York households by 2023.
The organization’s environmental-driven message is making waves as New Yorkers and the world collectively realize the imminent dangers of climate change.
The Million Solar Strong Coalition is comprised of industry, environmental, justice and community organizations united by the vision of a strong clean energy economy that works for all New Yorkers.
New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) already supports 30 percent clean and renewable energy by 2023, and 50 percent by 2030. Many believe the goal to be lofty, especially in light of California’s recent resolution to include solar technology on every new house.
A Solar Metropolis?
Peter Davidson and Tom Mattzie look at how solar can succeed in New York City, where property owners and tenants find it difficult to capitalize on solar’s benefits. From community solar to solar cooperatives, the rush for New York City to discover ways to leverage renewable energy’s benefits is on. (Read More from Crain’s New York Business)

New York Solar Roundup: The Solar Sweet Spot
Long Island’s Solar Sweet Spot
Newsday’s Sunburned: Solar panel leasing deals on LI plagued by consumer complaints two weeks ago brought great attention to the complications of solar leases. NY State Solar CEO David Michael had the opportunity to opine the benefits of NY State Solar in Newsday and how our organization empowers homeowners through NY-Sun. (More via Newsday)
Thomas Maier and Mark Harrington wrote an insightful and helpful special report exposing some of the unsavory elements of an otherwise extraordinary and invaluable solar industry.
But those of us who work in this field, and who do so honestly and in a customer-focused manner, want readers to remember all the benefits that come from “going solar”: Energy independence, cleaner air (with less pollution and fewer toxins), and financial benefits for the consumer.
While the article mentions some of the pitfalls in the industry, New York State has created a program that solves many problems: the NY-Sun On-Bill Recovery Loan. It requires that the proposed plan is evaluated by the state Research and Development Authority, and approved only if the system will provide savings for the owner.
Also, the NY-Sun On-Bill Recovery Loan allows property owners to pay any costs via their regular PSEG bill. Because the payment is tied to the utility bill, there’s no lien filed against the customers’ property, which means there’s no difficulty when it’s time to sell or refinance.
Community Solar Rises
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo this weekend announced the completion of the largest community solar project in Tompkins County. The 2.3-MW system consists of almost 7,000 solar panels across 13 acres. (More via Solar Power World)
New York State last week voted to expand value stack crediting beyond solar. Value stack crediting looks to create value for public benefits of distributed energy. (More via Microgrid Knowledge)
Community solar projects are imperative to allow folks who do not own homes to benefit from solar energy. The end of net-metering threatens community solar projects and clean energy’s growth. (More via Indypendent)

The old-school approach to New York State Solar
We Believe Old Is New
You may have seen us walking around your neighborhood.
We may have even knocked on your door to speak to you.
We know not many people do this anymore.
That’s why we love to do it.
In a world dominated by targeted advertisements, we believe in a more traditional approach.
An approach where people who want to help the world want to speak to the people who can most benefit from NY – Sun.
An approach that allows you to see our knowledge and passion for New York and renewable energy.
An approach that helps us all.
What We Do
NY – Sun is a historic taxpayer incentive program that allows homeowners to go solar.
The ability to qualify for the program is where things get tricky.
We walk around neighborhoods to search for houses that could qualify for the program.
Less than 25 percent of the state will qualify for the program because the process is customized per household.
Credit scores, roof age, electric bill, and household orientation all weigh a tremendous amount in the process.
Although you may believe your house is a great fit for solar — and it may be — there may be a reason we don’t knock.
When we knock on your door to speak to you, it is because we believe that your house looks like an ideal candidate to meet the program criteria.
We want to make sure you are aware of your ability to help New York’s environment, economy, and sustainability.
A Custom Experience
We do not sell solar panels.
Even if you wanted to have solar on your home tomorrow, we work within the confines of the program.
It is a custom process that takes attention, time, and an experience custom-designed for your needs.
No two houses are the same.
We work to ensure you receive the best support in your transition to solar.
How Can I Learn More?
We are happy to speak to you about the benefits of solar, your questions about the program, and all aspects of your interest.

New York State Solar is a local, private organization with offices in East Meadow and Sayville. We work to facilitate NY – Sun.
