*Customers are still responsible for paying the basic hookup fee to the utility company (in this case, NYSEG), which ranges from approximately $15–$17 a month (plus tax).
**This customer chose a larger system to offset the addition of future electrical loads. In these specific cases, we fill out “New Construction” paperwork for our customers so they will not have to add on to their system in the future and be approved for NYSERDA. Most of our customers choose a 15-year term, which in most cases brings their solar payment down to the same cost as their average electric bill or sometimes even cheaper! Keep in mind whichever term the customer chooses, they can pay off their system early with NO prepayment penalties.
