NY State Solar

We are very happy with our solar energy system and highly recommend NY State Solar, especially our project manager Milan Milosevic. At the time of this writing, our electric bill for September 2019 (our first full month) was the connection charge of $13.83 which was $367 in 2018. We didn’t expect this all the time, but it was a great start. For the period from 9/1/2019 to 1/31/2020, there was a 77% decrease in usage and 69% savings in cost. This yielded of decrease of approximately $1,118 for this 5-month period over the same period 12 months ago ($1,663 to $544). It was proposed to us that the system would produce 52% of our total usage minimum over 12 months. We are at 77% of total usage for the past five months and we are heading towards the higher production days of spring and summer. Milan walk us through the entire process, explain all the details, and was always available for questions. We were told ahead of time what to expect and was never caught off guard. We were presented with all costs including the tax credits (both Federal and NY State) we would receive, what options we had, and the costs of those options. Milan made visits to our home when Hytech Solar (the installation contractor) replaced the roof and install all the equipment. He still checks on us regularly to this day and makes sure we are satisfied and on track with the tax credits and provided the required forms necessary. As a retired licensed professional engineer and construction project manager for 34 years, I think in my professional opinion that Hytech Solar performed top quality work. Not only was the work high quality, but all involved took my suggestions in the design so that the aesthetics of the house was not compromised. The contractor also efficiently cleaned-up and protected the site from damage. This also shows that NY State Solar expects high quality work from their contractors. The only downside is that all costs are paid up front and had to put our trust in NY State Solar that the right job would be done. However, it paid off. The right job was engineered and installed to get the most from the sunlight available. If your interested in solar energy, I highly recommend NY State Solar and ask for Milan Milosevic. You should also do it now as the tax credits have gone down in 2020.

Jason Hawes of NY State Solar was, and is, most helpful in explaining the system and financial options. Saw the project through from beginning to end. As I come up with questions, he continues to answer promptly and be of great help..,

I had a great experience with new York state solar. Joseph Hawes did an absolute bang up job explaining the program to us and we were sold as soon as Joseph told us about all the money we would save.

Joseph took care of everything and explained everything clearly. Very pleasant experience.

Excellent. Me. Franklin was the best person to deal with.

Very prompt very professional. Our salesman Franklin Cussmsno was thorough and reassuring.

NY State Solar and especially Matt McAuliffe have been exceptional in explaining, planning, estimating financial impacts and monitoring the progress of our solar project. Essentially, NYS Solar provides a vehicle to access the best solar installation companies and assures a fair competitive price. NYS Solar’s relationship with NYSERDA was a key factor in making the application and approval process go very smoothly. Matt McAuliffe is a real professional who knows his business; and his honesty and passion for renewable energy expansion was key in my confidence in making the decision to install our solar system.

We now have solar. We now understand how the whole process works. Franklin has been a pleasure to work with. And as I told Franklin I don’t like salesmen. I also told him I was going to give him a hard time. It took it all gracefully. I would not want Franklin to write a review on me but I would recommend him a hundred times over.

It went very well. The process was quick and easy. We didn’t need to do much of anything. Our rep was incredible and always great about getting back to us when we had questions about anything

The company was great but Franklin Cusma our sales rep to this day is still one of the nicest people I’ve ever met He was so good actually that we’ve developed a friendship and he always returns messages immediately when we have questions. I’ve referred him to numerous people already. He’s is the epitome of a gentleman
