New York State and the Federal Government have incentive programs for appliances and home and business energy systems. The Empire Solar Store can assist you with ways to meet your energy efficient goals while saving money through rebates, grants and tax credits.
We can also help you understand what renewable energy efforts entail, what they cost and the effects of using them. With this information you can make your own decision about how much or how little to do. Check our calendar of events for seminars, educational workshops and local meetings where Empire Solar Store personnel are speaking. Also, check out the books and magazines we sell at the store.
We are firm in our commitment to grow our business and prosper in New York State. Let's build a sustainable community together.
