Suffolk County residents face some of the highest utility costs on Long Island. And PSEGLI (Public Service Enterprise Group Long Island) rates for electricity are projected to continue rising due to the increasing prices of natural gas.
But we have good news – there’s a way to take control of your energy expenses while making a positive impact on the environment. Switching to solar power offers Suffolk County homeowners the opportunity to experience lower utility costs and a more reliable source of power.
Reasons to Go Solar in Suffolk County
At SUNation Energy, we take pride in collaborating with all of Suffolk County’s towns and municipalities to make solar installations a reality, with a special focus on the Towns of Brookhaven, Islip, Riverhead, and Smithtown. Thanks to the streamlined solar permitting process in these towns, we can efficiently obtain the necessary approvals for your solar system, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free.
Suffolk County has long been a champion of clean energy, evident in the significant adoption of solar as a sustainable solution. With over 17MW of grid-tied solar across the county, it’s evident that Suffolk County is committed to paving the way towards a greener future.
Taking Weather into Consideration
In addition, the county’s favorable climate conditions contribute to its great potential for solar power generation, boasting an average of 206 sunny days per year, slightly higher than the national average. It’s important to note that solar systems aren’t solely reliant on direct sunlight – even in the presence of shade, clouds, or rain, solar panels can still generate energy, albeit at a reduced rate. Both direct and indirect sunlight can effectively produce energy through solar systems, ensuring a reliable and efficient energy source for homeowners in the region.
Weather-related power outages are a common concern, but with our innovative Tesla Powerwall backup battery, you can gain greater energy self-sufficiency, ensuring your power stays on even during outages.
