Why Southern Tier Homeowners Choose IGS Solar
We design, permit, install, and commission every system ourselves — no subcontractors, no surprises.
Custom-Engineered Design
Every system is designed around your actual utility bills, roof orientation, shading patterns, and long-term energy goals — not a one-size-fits-all template.
Premium Equipment, Proven Brands
We install only high-efficiency panels and inverters from brands like Enphase, SolarEdge, and REC — equipment engineered to perform for decades.
Your Neighbors Do the Work
Three local offices mean fast permitting, crews who know NY codes and weather, and ongoing support from people you can actually call.
Lock In Your Energy Costs
Utility rates in New York have climbed steadily for years. Solar lets you generate your own power at a predictable cost — starting day one.
Net Metering Advantage
Under NY net metering, excess electricity your panels produce rolls back your meter — turning sunny days into credits that offset your winter bills.
End-to-End Project Management
From utility interconnection applications to final inspection sign-off, we handle every step. You make one call — we do the rest.
Real Financial Incentives Available Right Now
New York State actively supports solar adoption. These programs are available to qualified homeowners today.
NY State Solar Tax Credit
New York's Residential Solar Tax Credit covers 25% of your system cost, up to $5,000 — applied directly against your state income tax.
Sell Power Back to the Grid
When your panels produce more than you use, that surplus is credited to your account — reducing or eliminating future electric bills.
Home Value Increase
Studies consistently show solar adds measurable resale value. Buyers pay a premium for homes with existing solar systems and locked-in energy costs.

Common Questions About Going Solar in New York
Honest answers to what homeowners ask most.
How much does a solar system cost?
Every system is custom-sized, so costs vary based on your home's energy usage, roof layout, and equipment choices. We provide a detailed, itemized quote with no obligation. The NY State 25% tax credit (up to $5,000) applies to qualified installations.
Does my roof qualify for solar panels?
Most roofs in good condition qualify. We evaluate age, pitch, orientation, shading, and structural integrity during your free assessment. If your roof needs work first, we can coordinate that too — we offer roofing services as well.
How does net metering work in New York?
Under NY net metering, your utility tracks the electricity you send to the grid and credits it against what you draw. On sunny days your meter runs backward; in winter you draw down those credits. The result is a dramatically lower — sometimes zero — annual electric bill.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in one to three days once permits are approved. Permitting and utility interconnection typically add four to eight weeks to the overall timeline. We keep you informed at every stage.
What happens to my solar panels if I sell my house?
Owned solar panels transfer with the home and typically increase resale value. We provide documentation that satisfies buyers and their lenders. Most homeowners find solar accelerates the sale rather than complicating it.
