Here’s what you need to know about getting hooked up to solar.

What are the Financial Incentives for Home Solar in Deer Park?

The financial incentives are split between direct benefits paid to your contractor (and taken off your bill) as well as the New York State Solar Energy System Equipment Credit.

• NYSERDA offers rebates paid directly to solar contractors on Long Island. These rebates are taken off the top of your bill to lower out-of-pocket expenses.
• New York State offers a tax credit (The NYS Solar Energy System Equipment Credit) worth 25% of the cost of your system, up to a total of $5,000.
• Your home will be eligible for a 15-year property tax exemption (the added value of your solar system won’t increase your home’s property tax).

The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit is being phased out in 2025, but still applies to some systems that are installed (or partially planned and installed) before December 31st. It’s imperative that you call us immediately if you want to take advantage of this 30% tax credit in 2025.

Is There Net Metering with PSEG Long Island?

Yes, net metering is available for your solar panel installation in Deer Park. With net metering, any energy your solar panels send to the grid will spin your meter in reverse. This helps to cover the energy you take from the grid in the evenings.

If you export more than you take from the grid, then your account will be credited at the end of the month. You can use these credits to offset times of the year when solar production is low, like the winter months when days are shorter.

Net Metering is a significant benefit for Long Island solar panel installations. It’s a core feature that helps solar panels to pay for themselves over time.

Do I Need a Permit for My Deer Park Solar Installation?

You will need a permit for your solar installation, and PSEG will need to inspect and approve your system before it goes online.

Power Solutions has designed, installed, and connected thousands of solar panel systems on Long Island. We know how to make the permitting process smooth and stress-free. Our systems are designed for compliance from the ground up. We will manage the permitting process so that you only need to fill out paperwork once.

How Will I Know if Solar is Right For Me?

The easiest way to decide if solar is right for you is to choose an experienced installer and ask for a cost/benefit analysis.
