Providing World Class Service & Support to Clients
Pleasant, considerate, knowledgeable, and professional staff with a quality product. We look forward to saving money and helping the planet.
The installers were great! They were unobtrusive and respectful of me and my property. The system is amazing! I’m expecting many years of power from my array and batteries. I highly recommend Astrawatt!
I was in the market for solar for a while and had received bids from multiple companies, but shortly after speaking with Scott, the decision to go with Astrawatt was a no brainer.
Astrawatt was super cost competitive, despite using the best technologies solar has to offer! Many competitors tried to sell me on cheaper inverters and panels for the same price.
New York Solar Incentives and Tax Credits

You can deduct 30% of the cost of your solar energy system from your federal income taxes. There is no cap on the value of your tax credit and it applies to both residential and commercial systems.
The federal solar tax credit was recently increased to 30% and its timeline has been extended. If you install a solar PV system between now and 2032 you will receive a 30% tax credit.
The federal solar tax credit helps you save thousands of dollars in upfront costs, in addition to many solar incentives and rebates for the state of New York.
