New York City customers can expect to pay roughly $306 more this winter than last year, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lohud.com\/story\/weather\/2022\/09\/02\/old-farmers-almanac-winter-weather-forecast-ny-predicts-snow-cold\/65470130007\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says that\u00a0 New Yorker\u2019s should prepare for \u201crecord-breaking cold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of electricity is also rising. ConEd estimates that electric bills in New York City will increase to $116 a month. While PSEG LI hasn\u2019t announced yet if bills will increase, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/Researchers-and-Policymakers\/Energy-Prices\/Electricity\/Monthly-Avg-Electricity-Residential\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NYSERDA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, electricity costs have increased each year for New Yorkers statewide for the past three years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Solar Can Save You Money<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you install solar panels on your home, the panels capture the sun\u2019s energy and turn it into electricity to power your home. During times when the sun is the strongest, like during the middle of the day, is also when you are usually using the least amount of energy. Through <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/what-is-net-metering\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">net metering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can bank this extra energy to use later when your system isn\u2019t as productive, like during the night or on cloudy days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of net metering, many homeowners end up only paying a monthly fee of $14-20, which is the required grid connection fee. We estimate that over the course of your system&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/home-solar\/solar-panel-cost\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25-year lifetime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, homeowners can save over $100,000 on electricity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/how-does-solar-help-control-rising-costs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of solar is also fixed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means that once you install and pay for your system, the price of solar won\u2019t increase. For $0 down, you can see savings on your bill from day one, helping you avoid increasing costs everywhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rebates and Incentives Available<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now really is the best time to go solar. Not just because of rising costs, but because of the incentives available. Right now, homeowners can receive a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/americas-clean-energy-future-inflation-reduction-act\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30% federal tax rebate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the year after their installations, and a $5,000 rebate from New York State. Going solar can be expensive, but by combining offers, you can save up to 50% of initial costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter is coming, and solar can help you avoid high heating costs. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/calendly-book-your-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get started. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year hasn\u2019t been the easiest for Long Islanders.
