Instead of having us talk about ourselves, why don’t we see what our clients have to say.
Con Edison’s approved plan runs through 2028. PSC: Con Edison approved 2026–2028 electric plan News 12 covered the approval, including customer concerns and the utility’s infrastructure explanation.
Your household’s decision is more specific: how much grid electricity could your roof replace? We compare your actual usage, export credits and remaining charges. Solar gives your home another source of electricity; it does not freeze Con Edison’s rates.
Your roof can produce electricity your home would otherwise buy. Roof condition, shade and annual use determine what solar could change. Start with your address, then compare production, installed price and remaining utility costs with our team. Want backup too? Tell us what must stay on.
Keep your solar working when the grid doesn’t. Add compatible storage and backup controls to run the loads included in your design and recharge from solar during suitable daylight. Tesla: solar recharge and Powerwall during outages
Powerwall 3 is one option to review for a Con Edison home. The utility lists it for its battery program; system approval, permits and enrollment remain separate. We’ll check your existing solar and backup priorities before recommending equipment. Con Edison: Bring Your Own Battery eligibility
Your home comes first. We use Aurora to design around your roof, shade and electricity use. Planning an EV or electric heating? Include it now. We’ll show the equipment, expected production, installed price and grid costs that remain. Already have solar? We review its inverter and electrical layout before recommending a battery.
Up to $11,250 in upfront NY battery incentives for qualifying homes. The Inclusive Storage Incentive pays $450 per approved usable AC kWh, up to 25 eligible kWh in an approved design. A qualifying disadvantaged-community address is one eligibility route; other routes use income or affordable-housing criteria. Project, equipment, funding and utility-program requirements apply. The incentive reduces your project cost in the agreement; an inquiry does not reserve funds. Check NYSERDA’s live funding dashboard.
Make incentives part of a clear proposal. Qualifying solar at an eligible New York principal residence can receive a state tax credit of 25% of eligible costs, up to $5,000. It is nonrefundable; unused eligible credit can carry forward for up to five years. Storage funding is separate and depends on the actual project.

Con Edison’s Westchester 600-kWh annual-average example rose 46.7% between 2021 and 2025. Separately, the approved 425-kWh illustration adds $4.94 monthly in 2027 and $4.95 in 2028. Your own usage and roof determine what solar could offset.

Your roof and electrical scope set the price. Shade, usable roof area, system size and battery choices affect the installed cost. Start with your address; then compare a design, projected production, payment options and remaining Con Edison charges.

Eligible exports receive private solar generation credits. You remain connected to Con Edison and may still owe grid-energy and fixed charges, including an applicable Customer Benefit Contribution. We review the account’s compensation rules and project date instead of promising a zero bill or a universal cash-out.

Review Solar Against My Con Edison Bill
No. Con Edison serves different grid configurations, including some Westchester network areas. The actual service, equipment and connection point affect review. Local permits, inspections and utility permission are separate milestones; the design must match your address before an operating date is promised.

With compatible backup controls, yes. Solar can power supported circuits and refill the battery during suitable daylight. We plan around the loads you want running, including motor-starting needs; available charge, sunlight and consumption determine how long backup lasts.

Supported upgrades are possible. Tesla now documents adding Powerwall 3 to specific Powerwall 2 configurations; gateways, metering and software matter. Con Edison’s battery program expressly lists Powerwall 3, but installation permission and program enrollment are separate. We review both before quoting an eligible package.

A qualifying New York principal residence may receive the state solar credit; eligible storage uses separate NYSERDA rules and funding. Con Edison has its own standard storage block. We itemize the approved pathway and tax assumptions, without adding the expired federal homeowner credit for new 2026 work.

No. The historical figures on this page are Westchester-specific. NYC projects also have separate building and fire-approval requirements for storage. Share the address for a service and permit review; a Con Edison program listing alone does not establish NYC installation permission.
