NY State Solar reviews

Sumi Mahmud has kept coming back to Ayoub — this was the fourth house he handled for her after they first met three years ago — and she brought him in for multiple family members as well. She trusted him to walk her through the choices, explain every step, and manage the incentives so the financial side didn’t become a headache. NYSS took care of the physical work, and the install and overall process went smoothly. The detail that stuck with her: Ayoub made the whole thing easy and handled the paperwork and incentives so she didn’t have to worry.

Christine Kwon installed solar panels on her home two years ago and, though she was hesitant at first, discovered it turned out to be a smart decision. She ended up working with Jamie, who managed the job from start to finish and kept close watch on every step during construction and afterward. She valued his professionalism and conscientiousness, and he continued to answer her questions quickly long after the installation. The detail that mattered most to her was that follow-through—Jamie didn’t disappear once the panels were in place, so she felt supported well beyond the build.

Kevin Lynch and his wife hired Jack Aranya for their home solar project and quickly found Jack to be both knowledgeable and straightforward. He relied on Jack to chase down answers he didn’t have, always coming back quickly with documentation, and Jack kept checking in after installation to ensure the system stayed on course. The panels performed as promised: over two years they only had one month each year when production or credits were exhausted; otherwise their only outlays were the loan payment and the hookup fee, which together ran well below their previous electricity bills. Turning energy costs into a predictable payment — especially through the hot months of July and August — proved to be a real relief. He recommends Jack and his team for a home solar project and has offered to be contacted through Jack if prospective buyers want to ask questions. The detail that lingered with him: in two years only two months total used up their solar credits, a clear sign the system delivers steady savings.

Michael O'Connell went solar a year ago on his home and discovered it was an easy decision. He ended up producing more than 9 MWh in 2022 — notably higher than the estimate — and encountered no post‑install problems. The panels sit clean and symmetrical on the roof, and he has already steered others toward the installer. The detail that stuck with him: first‑year output beat expectations while the installation remained neat.

Kelly Mackey first looked into solar a few years ago and decided it didn’t make sense at the time. A few downed trees, faster technology, and a new NYS tax incentive shifted the math, and Zachary Wright reconnected to run fresh numbers. They ended up with a system NY Solar arranged from start to finish: permits, scheduling, and the install felt effortless because the company handled every step. The detail that sticks is the timing and follow-through—Zachary reached out when the situation changed, and now they get to enjoy watching the meter spin backwards.

David was contacted by Jack at NYSS while he was considering a residential solar installation and started out feeling apprehensive. Jack changed his mind — the first salesperson who made him genuinely comfortable committing to a system. Jack walked him through how solar works and what to expect, handled all the paperwork and installation details, and stayed available afterward. He bought the system and, 15 months later, remains very happy; when he calls with questions Jack either answers them on the spot or follows up to get the right information. The memorable part of the experience was Jack’s combination of clear explanations and ongoing responsiveness — David still leans on him for support well over a year after install.

Heather was living with high summer electric bills from central air, a hot tub and a small above-ground pool. After partnering with Christopher Wen, she moved from consuming a lot of energy to producing a lot of it — she even fed power back into the grid. Two summers ago the bills were crushing; now they’re no longer a worry. Christopher guided her through every step: he laid out the process, handled the paperwork, arranged the install and kept her updated by calls and emails. He answered questions quickly and removed the usual headaches that come with going solar. The installation crew matched that level of care — professional, clean and hard-working, and the physical work looked excellent. The financial side also unfolded as promised: incentives, the loan and the program details all worked out exactly as he described. What stuck with her was the tangible change — shifting from high bills to surplus energy — and the clear, hands-on support from Christopher that made the whole transition straightforward.

David hired NY State Solar in 2016 for a solar project and found their team exceptional. They walked him through every step and stayed open about timelines and costs, so he always knew what to expect. When NY State Solar brought in Sunrise Energy to handle the installation, that crew matched the same professionalism and quality. With so much negative press around solar lately, what stuck with him most was the upfront transparency and the smooth, well-coordinated install by Sunrise Energy.

Louis Corrao III hired Jack Aranya to manage a residential solar installation and watched the company’s promises play out exactly as outlined. He found Jack to be a consummate professional who answered every question and guided him through each step of the process. Everything turned out as promised: he paid nothing out of pocket, his electricity bill dropped, and he received a full tax reimbursement. About a year after the panels were installed he sold the house and saw the system deliver a noticeable boost to the appraised value. The detail that stuck with him most was the trio of outcomes — zero upfront cost, full tax reimbursement, and a measurable lift in resale value.
