Empire Solar Roofing Team worked very hard to replace our roof in a day and a half. The guys cleaned up the area well and were courteous and professional.

My experience with Empire Solar has been nothing short but amazing. From the initial process with Nore (regional sales manager) at the beginning of August answering any questions or concerns I had. Then Tal stepped in and coordinated installation of my new roof replacing 18 plywood prior to new shingles being placed. Tal did a fantastic job coordinating everything from start to finish while keeping me appraised. On (10/08) they installed my solar panels and did a magnificent job from panel placement to the electrical part done by Dane who answered every electrical concerns i had. 2 months later I’m a town inspection away from being up and running. I want to thank Nore, Tal and the entire Empire team for making my experience memorable.

I had an excellent experience with Empire Solar Solutions. They redid my roof shingles quickly and with outstanding quality. After that, they installed solar panels on my large barn roof, running a trench to the house for the underground cables, and set up all the electrical panels next to my existing electric meter. The solar panel installation was completed in less than a day, and the finished look is fantastic. The electrical panels were installed neatly and professionally, with everything looking very clean. I am extremely impressed with their speed, workmanship, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Empire solar was great! From roofing to installing the solar panels, they were highly efficient with timing and quality of the work. While doing the roof, they also gave us a huge courtesy and installed an attic fan and fixed our gutters without any additional charge. Impressively, They left no trace that construction work was done on the house We are very grateful for the quick and easy process to get a new roof and install our solar panels with Empire Solar. Thank you!

My solar system stopped working after many years of great production, so I called Empire Solar who originally installed. I couldn’t be more satisfied with how quickly they responded to diagnose the issue. Keith and the Empire team went above and beyond by not only identifying the problem but also re-running all new wires through the solar trench to make sure everything was done right. A big thanks as well to Mark for not only stepping up and getting my system back up and running quickly but covering the new wires under warranty! Truly excellent service—I highly recommend Empire Solar!

We had a great experience with Empire Solar. Professional and knowledgeable every step of the way.. If you're having doubts about any part of purchasing solar from Empire Solar, you can be assured from an actual customer they are as advertised! 5*.
Special thanks to our install team. Fantastic Crew!!

I regret hiring Empire Solar Solutions. We have been paying full electric bills for a year while the solar system sits unused because it was never connected to the grid. The process is frustrating, and we are left on our own to fix it. If you're considering them, ask a lot of questions and get everything in writing. Thank you for taking the time to read my experience — I hope it helps someone make a more informed decision. The photo below showing all the dirt around the panels is how Empire Solar Solutions left the job. The finished photo is after I spent additional funds to complete the project with a new contractor and bring the site up to code. But we still have no solar.

We had a very disappointing and costly experience with Empire in New York. When we signed our solar contract, we were told — multiple times and in writing — that the loan could be assumed by a future buyer if we sold our home. This was a major selling point for us.
When we sold our house, our buyer followed all the proper steps and applied to assume the loan. However, the lender unexpectedly paused all loan assumptions, and we were forced to pay off the entire $40,000 balance in order to close. This possibility was never disclosed to us. We reached out to the company multiple times — via email— and they were unwilling to help us.
This wasn’t the only issue. Our electric savings were far below what was promised, we had terrible customer service with many unanswered calls, and we discovered our permits were never closed out, which created more complications during the sale.
We moved forward with this company in good faith and trusted their assurances. Instead, we were left with broken promises, financial loss, and zero accountability.
If you’re considering going solar, get everything in writing, verify loan policies directly with the lender, and make sure all local permits are properly closed. I would not recommend Empire Solar based on our experience.

I had an outstanding experience with Empire Solar Solutions and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their customers. A special shoutout to Tanner, our salesperson, who was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through the entire process with clarity and enthusiasm. He made sure we understood all our options and tailored the perfect solar solution for our home. Equally impressive was Tal, the installation manager, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. His attention to detail, prompt communication, and dedication to ensuring everything was flawless during the installation process were truly remarkable, his team that completed the roof work was absolutely amazing . The installation was completed efficiently, Empire Solar, with Tanner and Tal leading the way, made switching to solar seamless and stress-free. Five stars all around for their exceptional service!
