Albany County Installation in East Berne, NY

A family connection first brought this homeowner to NYS Solar Farm. She was looking for a way to cut down on her Central Hudson utility bills and liked the idea of generating her own clean power. After comparing options, she chose NYSSF based on the higher quality panels and product selection.

As a family friend, she came into the process with confidence—and didn’t hesitate to move forward. Her installation involved a key structural upgrade: the existing rafters in her garage were cracked and undersized, so the team sistered in new 2x8s to reinforce the roof for added snow load. They cut the new rafters at precise angles to ensure a strong, lasting fit.

The orientation and pitch of her roof made this system especially efficient. She was thrilled to see nearly 50% savings right away and loved knowing her panels were covering 100% of her energy use. Throughout the install, she stayed engaged with the crew, even bringing them drinks while they worked.
