Solar Array Ownership

Goodbye to energy bills and hello to owning your Own Rooftop Solar Array.

A Sustainable Future

Owning your own solar array creates the greatest benefit possible. Install on your roof or on the ground, and permanently pay off your electric costs for 60-90% less, increase the value of your property, stop some of the inflation in your life in its tracks, and instead of paying your taxes to the government, pay them to yourself. Grants and tax incentives are in place to minimize expenses, but they are decreasing. NY utilities currently offer net metering, which omits the need for batteries, saving tens of thousands of dollars. Purchasing now “grandfathers” you into the current compensation model, which is the best in the U.S. Protect and prolong the life of your roof.

How Does It All Work

Solar panels generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. Sunlight excites electrons in the solar cells, creating a flow of electricity. Electricity from the solar panel is converted into electricity that can be used to power appliances and devices in the building or exported to the grid.

We install the system at no upfront cost to you. Your energy bill goes away and you redirect the money you were paying to your utility company into the ownership of your solar panel system *in some scenarios, your monthly payment on the system can even wind up being less than you currently pay monthly to the utility for your electricity on day one!

* Your payment will vary depending on the market and what program you qualify for.

Benefits of Solar Ownership

Free Quote & Proposal

FREE solar energy consultation, system design and proposal that includes a comprehensive energy analysis with 25-year system performance and return on investment calculations so you know exactly what you are getting.

Easy Financing

PTM offers the opportunity to finance with multiple lenders with different models for their loans, with varying limits, and varying guidelines. A credit score of 640 or better, with a good debt-to-income ratio, is often the minimum requirement.

Set It & Forget It Benefits

The average home system needs very little maintenance or attention at all (potentially none for the lifetime of the system). You will have access to a monitoring system online or via an app to check functionality whenever you desire. Your system’s production is calculated using weather data from the past 30 years in your locale, so cloud cover, snow accumulation, etc. are not a concern, as they are factored into the sizing of your system. Snow does not even need to be removed from the panels!

NYSERDA Grant Information

NY makes consistent, significant efforts to increase the benefit of going solar for its residents. This is because there is currently a government mandate that NY will run 70% on renewable energy by the year 2030. You can find more details here:
Clean Energy Standard

As such, with NYSERDA’s project approval (based upon projected system energy efficiency), if the system meets its minimum standards, your project will receive a grant for $0.20 per watt of solar installed. This grant is scheduled to decrease by volume. You can see this in real-time here:

How Do Solar Tax Incentives Work?

There are countless ways accountants know how to work with solar tax incentives. They can help create a tax liability that meets or exceeds the needed threshold to receive all credits in year one. It is highly recommended that you speak with an accountant for guidance on how to maximize these incentives and ensure you meet the necessary requirements.
