We used Long Island Power Solutions to design and install a 22 panel 9.3kW rooftop solar system on our home in late 2024. The initial site evaluation was borderline, due to one 100+ year old oak tree in our yard which we refused to cut down or trim to improve our solar output. Our consultant, David Kowalsky, worked repeatedly with us and his engineers to find a solution that could provide sufficient return to justify the project given this tree. We were presented with multiple design options and configurations with accompanying forecast performance results, and we made our choice. We were pleased that in its first full year of production our system slightly exceeded its forecast output, proving out the skills of the design and engineering teams. I can't understate the monthly pleasure at seeing a big fat zero on our electricity bill for monthly usage. Throughout the process Power Solutions worked closely with us, regarding such things as placement of exterior and interior equipment. The result was an installation with minimal exterior change and convenient internal placement and access. Power Solutions also handled the extensive planning and permitting paperwork with our municipality and with ConEd. Their communication throughout was excellent. I recommend David Kowalsky and Power Solutions without reservation for this kind of work.

We love our solar panels and are so happy we got them. We are even happier that we worked with NY Power Solutions and our sales guy Mike White. First off, we haven’t paid an electric bill in a year. We started saving money as soon as we installed them but it took a couple of years for me to realize what a difference this is making in our lives, particularly as electricity rates seem to be going on daily. Second, the panels are gorgeous. We upgraded on the panels for a small amount of money and gained greater efficiency on their production and they look really cool on our roof. Turns out they have tiny cages underneath the panels to keep critters from moving in, that was a thoughtful feature we hadn’t realized they came with. Third, we feel really proud that we are making so much solar power. We would definitely get more of these in the future if we expand our needs such as with an electric vehicle. Fourth, NY Power Solutions worked with us to avoid cutting down trees which other companies were insisting we do. We ended up buying four more panels which was a lot cheaper than removing more trees and now we have all the power we need and all the trees we wanted to keep. Lastly, Mike has been a gem to work with. He’s a good communicator, very knowledgable, stays in touch, and he kept his word on everything since day one. No surprises except that the whole thing has worked out even better than we’d hoped. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience working with Power Solutions from start to finish. I was referred to them by my neighbor, and I’m especially glad we worked with David, our salesperson. He was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to answer all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured at any point. It was a refreshing change from the typical sales experience. He also did a great job explaining the federal tax credit and helped us move quickly to make sure we didn’t miss the deadline. The entire process was smooth and well-organized. The paperwork was straightforward, and the team at Power Solutions kept me informed every step of the way. They handled all the permits, coordinated with Con Edison, and communicated clearly around scheduling so there were no surprises. Installation day was went great. I took the day off expecting a long process, but the crew completed everything in just a few hours. The installers were professional, friendly, and took the time to walk me through what they were doing. They also did a great job keeping everything clean and ensuring that wiring and connections were as hidden and neat as possible. Overall, it was a seamless experience from beginning to end. Power Solutions offers strong guarantees on both the workmanship and the panels, which gave me a lot of confidence in the decision. I’m very happy we chose them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I had one of the best experiences working with New York Power Solutions, especially with David Kowalski. By the time we started working with David, we collected quotes from 4 other companies. However, David's team came out on the top. From the initial inquiry to the final installation—and even beyond—David exceeded all my expectations with his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. The process began with a detailed pre-assessment to determine the optimal number of solar panels for our home. David took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood the benefits, costs, and layout. What stood out most was how smoothly he navigated the permit approval process with the city—something I had expected to be complex and time-consuming, but he handled it flawlessly. The installation itself was quick, clean, and completely pain-free. The crew was professional, and David was there every step of the way to ensure everything went according to plan. Even after the system was up and running, David and the team at New York Power Solutions have continued to provide outstanding support. Whether it’s answering questions or helping us understand our energy usage, they’ve remained incredibly accessible and helpful. I highly recommend New York Power Solutions and especially David Kowalski for anyone considering solar energy. It’s rare to come across this level of service and commitment from start to finish—and beyond.
