Local guide
How home batteries work in New York
A home battery in New York typically starts around $9,200 installed for a mid-sized unit with an inverter and backup gateway. Capacity is chosen around your evening usage rather than the size of your solar array.
The value comes from what you avoid importing at peak rates. If you are on a time-of-use or EV tariff, the battery can charge overnight and cover the evening, whether or not you have solar. Without a smart tariff, payback is much slower.
Ask how the battery behaves in a power cut. Only some systems provide whole-home backup, and the ones that do need a gateway and a dedicated circuits list agreed at design stage.

Battery Storage in New York: common questions
Is a battery worth it without solar?
It can be, if you are on a cheap overnight rate and an expensive peak rate. The saving is the tariff difference multiplied by the energy you shift.
How long do batteries last?
Most units are warranted for ten years or a set number of charge cycles, whichever comes first, and typically retain around 70% of capacity at that point.
Can I add a battery later?
Yes, provided the original inverter is battery-ready. If not, a hybrid inverter or AC-coupled battery is the usual route.
How much does a solar system cost in the US?
Most residential systems land between $12,000 and $22,000 before the 30% federal credit, depending on system size and state. A typical 7kW system in a sunny state pays back in 7–9 years.
What does accredited mean on this directory?
Every installer marked as verified has supplied a NABCEP certification number that our team checks against the public register before the badge is granted.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in one to two days on site, with permitting and utility interconnection adding two to eight weeks depending on your city.
Do I need a new roof before installing?
If your roof has less than 10 years of life left, installers will usually recommend replacing it first so the array does not need to be removed later.
