Con Edison Solar & Battery
Storage Guide for Westchester

Westchester rates are up 46.7% since 2021. Here’s how solar and batteries work with Con Edison, from hookup to your bill to battery payments.

Why trust Kasselman with your next solar installation?

About Con Edison

Con Edison serves about 3.6 million customers in New York City and Westchester County. A typical Westchester bill has gone from $142 a month in 2021 to $209 in 2025, and increases are already approved every year through 2028. Every kilowatt-hour your roof makes is one you don’t buy at Con Edison’s price.

Going Solar with Kasselman Solar & Con Edison

We’ve installed solar for 4,000+ homes across New York, including 150+ in Westchester since 2020, as a NYSERDA Platinum, Tesla Certified, Enphase Platinum and FranklinWH Certified installer. Here’s how it works:
  1. Design. We size your system from a year of Con Edison bills and check whether your street is on one of Westchester’s small network-grid areas, which need extra engineering review.
  2. Apply. We file through Con Edison’s small-system portal. There’s no application fee, and Con Edison approves your system’s wiring diagram before we build.
  3. Install. Our crew installs, the town inspects, and we certify the finished system to Con Edison.
  4. Switch on. Con Edison orders your net meter and sends a final acceptance letter.

Your Bill After Solar

You’ll still get a Con Edison bill, just a much smaller one. Extra power your panels send to the grid earns credits that carry forward month to month. What stays is the customer charge and a monthly solar charge (CBC) of $1.29 per kW, about $10 a month for a typical system.

Batteries & Backup with Con Edison

A battery keeps your fridge, sump pump and furnace running when the grid goes down, and your panels recharge it during the day.
Con Edison’s Bring Your Own Battery program pays $100 per kW each summer, the most in New York, when Tesla Powerwall or select SolarEdge batteries share power on peak days. NYSERDA also takes $250 per kWh off the price upfront in Con Edison territory ($450 in disadvantaged communities). Prefer a generator, or both? We install those too.

Con Edison FAQs

Yes. With solar, Con Edison still sends a monthly bill, but it’s usually much smaller.

Extra power your panels send to the grid earns credits that carry forward month to month. You still pay the customer charge and the Customer Benefit Contribution (CBC), which is $1.29 per kW per month in 2026, or about $10 a month for an 8 kW system. Kasselman Solar shows your expected remaining Con Edison bill in your proposal.

It depends on your roof, shade, how much electricity you use and any electrical work your home needs. Kasselman Solar prices each system from your address and a year of Con Edison bills. New York homeowners can still claim the 25% state solar tax credit (up to $5,000) on a primary home, and in Con Edison territory NYSERDA takes $250 per kWh off a home battery upfront ($450 in disadvantaged communities).

No. Most of Westchester is on Con Edison’s standard grid, but some small areas are on network grids. Homes in those areas need extra engineering review from Con Edison, which can add time or require a service upgrade.

Con Edison pays $100 per kW of your battery’s average performance during summer events, the highest rate of any New York utility program. Events run May 1 through September 30, usually on weekdays between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m., for up to 4 hours. Eligible batteries include Tesla Powerwall 2, Powerwall+ and Powerwall 3, plus select SolarEdge systems.

NYSERDA sets a higher rate in Con Edison territory: $250 per kWh off a home battery, versus $200 in the rest of New York.

Additionally, homes in select disadvantaged communities get $450 per kWh anywhere in the state. Kasselman Solar applies for the incentive and shows it as a discount on your price.

No. Kasselman Solar installs for select Con Edison homeowners in Westchester County, not in New York City. The rate figures on this page are Westchester-specific.

No. A typical Westchester Con Edison bill (600 kWh a month) rose from $142 in 2021 to $209 in 2025. Con Edison’s approved plan adds about $5 a month each year: $5.27 in 2026, $4.94 in 2027 and $4.95 in 2028 (New York PSC example at 425 kWh). Your solar quote is based on your current bills, so those increases only add to what solar saves.
