Tired of rising electricity bills? You’re not alone. ConEd has announced plans to raise rates by more than 11 percent next year. This comes on top of previous hikes, leaving New Yorkers paying 35 percent to 40 percent more for electricity than the national average. For many families, these increases are putting a strain on monthly budgets.

But there’s a way to fight back: solar energy. By installing solar panels, NYC homeowners can slash their ConEd bills by 50 percent to 100 percent (aside from a small connection fee). Many solar users see $0 in supply charges for much of the year, paying only a basic service fee and delivery costs. Imagine taking control of your electricity bill and putting that money back into your pocket.

Solar isn’t just good for your wallet — it’s also more affordable than you might think. Here’s why:

On top of that, net metering lets you bank energy credits from sunny months to cover winter usage. With an average payback period of five to seven years, NYC homeowners are seeing lifetime savings that could add up to $80,000 or more.

Switching to solar doesn’t just save money. It also protects you from future rate hikes. The sooner you act, the more you’ll save, especially with the federal tax credit set to expire this year. Why wait while your electric bill keeps climbing?
