Our Mission
Solar adoption in Westchester is better than average—but still far from where it could be. Despite the region’s high solar potential, most homes and buildings in the Rivertowns remain untouched by solar. After an initial wave of early adopters, momentum has slowed. One major reason? Misinformation.
Aggressive subsidies brought in a flood of companies—some with little experience or integrity. As a result, solar’s reputation has taken a hit. Confusion now clouds the basics: What is solar? How does it work? And who can you trust?
We started Rivertown Solar to be the antidote. Our mission is to restore confidence in solar by putting education first. We don’t sell hype—we offer honest, well-explained systems that are rooted in local knowledge, built with precision, and installed to last.
Let’s be clear: solar is not a replacement for Con Ed. In our region, almost every system is grid-tied. That means you’ll generate power when the sun is shining—and draw power from the grid when it’s not. The benefit? Lower bills, greater energy independence, and long-term savings, all without going “off-grid.”
We’ll walk you through exactly what your system will do, what it won’t, and what kind of return you can reasonably expect. No exaggeration. No fine print. Just facts.
And remember: Every solar estimate—whether it’s from us or anyone else—is based on historical weather, shading, and electricity pricing data. That’s why accuracy matters.
At Rivertown Solar, we use industry-leading photogrammetric software to model your home and surroundings in detail—accounting for trees, buildings, and shading conditions to give you the most precise savings and production estimates possible.
Our Local Impact
We focus on what we know best: the Rivertowns and greater Westchester. That’s where we live, work, and build. The vast majority of our installations happen within 10 miles of our office—allowing us to offer personalized service, fast response times, and long-term accountability that national companies simply can’t match.
We never subcontract our labor. Our experienced, in-house installation team upholds the highest construction standards—those set forth by NYSERDA—on every project. That means no shortcuts, no guesswork, and no disappearing acts.
We also actively support municipal sustainability efforts. As communities work toward becoming certified Climate Smart Communities (CSCs), we serve as both advisor and advocate, helping local governments align with NYSERDA’s clean energy goals.
Our Expertise
Each building department in Westchester has its own quirks—and its own interpretation of codes. We know them all. Our team is deeply familiar with the region’s permitting processes, inspector expectations, and architectural diversity. That gives us a major edge when it comes to navigating approvals and adapting to complex roof types.
From slate and copper to cedar shingle and tile, we’ve developed solutions to install solar on rooftops others avoid. We’ve built the sourcing channels, engineering expertise, and custom workflows to handle it all.
Most importantly, our leadership brings over 30 years of electrical contracting experience. That matters. Because while panels get the spotlight, it’s the wiring and equipment sizing that determine how long your system lasts—and how efficiently it runs.
Poor electrical work is like a leaky pipe. You may not see the problem, but you’ll feel it in the form of wasted energy, shortened equipment life, and inconsistent voltage. Our electrical craftsmanship ensures clean power, lower resistance, and optimal performance from day one.
