YSG Solar is the best company when it comes to price of the system, quality of materials, and workmanship.

The NY-Sun suite of programs, carried out in conjunction with Green Jobs Green New York efficiency and incentive programs, deliver affordable solar systems designed to meet a significant percentage of your electricity needs.
More homeowners across New York are turning to solar to than ever before, and for a lot of good reasons. Most importantly, solar power is now more accessible than ever before. Thanks to new innovations across the industry, as well as financing and rebates, the cost of investing in a system for your home has never been lower.
If you own your building, solar makes sense. There's no better way to show your neighbors that you care about your community and you can decrease your building's operating costs (and carbon footprint) with an investment that pays and makes you feel great. Clean, green energy from a solar array is one of the best ways to decrease your commercial building's operating costs-on any scale.

Stay away from this company! Took them eight months for a two week installation ! Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced in any business ! If you need service done good luck with that! I written to the better business bureau about this Company and still no Service . I still have an open permit open on my home from there installations from 2018 so haven't received any property tax credit for the solar panels ! It's 2021 now! There's no way to get in touch with them over the phone only by email which they respond to if they feel like it or never .. Believe the

All I can say is wow and convey surprise that solar is actually all it's cracked up to be. For years I had been hearing about people getting solar panels but never understood how we could benefit with the gloomy weather we have 9 months a year in NY (ha). Then we finally heard about YSG from my wife's coworker and decided to get an estimate since it didn't obligate us to anything. After speaking with our accountant we realized it was actually a beneficial investment for us. We ended up not taking any vacations last year (Thank you Covid....I guess) and used the money we saved to pay for the net

YSG is your one stop shop for everything solar and renewal energy. I’ve been working with them on some solar farm prospects and Dave, Raymond and Dylan are the absolute best!
Being a professional like myself I need to work with a company that’s committed to making sure everything runs smooth with no interruptions. YSG is head and shoulders above the rest for sure...

This company is very unprofessional. I greatly regret hiring them. Do yourself a favor and Stay away. There are much better options out there. Salesman Ken made multiple misrepresentations including the amount of panels I would get. He stated to me that I would be getting a storage battery and when it wasn't installed he then strung me along for months telling me that it would be installed soon. He then told me that I would have to hire the installation company directly and that I would have to pay them. Needless to say I had to hire a lawyer and am in the process of filing a lawsuit.

WARNING - DO NOT USE YSG SOLAR. They do not honor their rebates or promises. We were fraudulently induced into entering into a contract and promised in writing a $2000 rebate. After installation, we requested the rebate and were told that the salesperson that offered us the rebate no longer works there and they wouldn't honor it. There is a complaint filed with the NYS Attorney General's Office Consumer Fraud Unit and the Better Business Bureau.
YSG's response is riddled with lies and misrepresentations. This was not an after the fact asking for a promotion!!! We are not relying on a promotion

YSG are the go to solar guys. Two of my colleagues had systems installed by two of the bigger name companies and both of them have had non stop issues since their systems were installed in 2017 and 2018. I had a hard time finding a solar contractor after listening to their experiences until I met YSG at a trade show out in Staten Island in 2019. After about a year of going back and forth we finally pulled the trigger and had our system installed January 2020, right before the pandemic hit. Throughout all the shut downs and issues out of their control YSG was able to keep me in the loop and the

So I used this company on the recommendation of a friend and I absolutely regret it. Now I know this review is coming a few years too late but finally got around to doing it. I had the system installed in February 2018. The original design of the system was for 22 300 watt panels with the solaredge 7600 watt inverter making it a 6.6kwh peak system. Due to my house having a flat roof they would of had to put 2 panels on the lower roof so to keep it looking symmetrical we agreed to add 2 more panels to the system which should have made it a 7.2kwh peak system. Install went fairly smooth only issue

My Tesla is now being charged from the sun! thank you YSG Solar. In September we started searching for a solar panel company. My neighbor used another company that we met previously who came to our home to provide us an estimate. We started the process and after months nothing occurred, my husband ended up cancelling. We called YSG and within one day of calling we received the estimate. From the day the paperwork was signed until the panel system had been installed was just weeks. This was a big relief. It was not an easy decision for us to go electric with our car. YSG even installed our Tesla

The team to install led by James and Eric were awesome. They accommodated the ideas I had about the system install and even accommodated some semi last minute equipment changes my husband wanted to make regarding different looking panels. The work looks great and they cleaned up very well. Really nice guys, they even took the time to go over the system with my son so he can keep an eye on it when we're out of town for half the year. We had our system installed in June 2020 and have already banked a good amount of power with Coned above what we used, which used to be around $250/month. Couldn't

Where do I start from? My Awful Experience with YSG began back in February 2020. After numerous of phone calls with Kenneth, the sales associate, pushing to sign the contract to have YSG install my solar. Upon our conversation he promised that the system will be fully installed before April of 2020 which of course it never happened because YSG doesn't have installers. FYI, YSG sublease their contracts, which means you are not dealing with installers that directly work with them.
Finally, they scheduled dates in June of 2020, I would call out of work, but they would not show up for various

I don't actually think I've ever dealt with a less competent company. The odd thing is, their incompetence is almost equally matched with arrogance and rudeness.
I ordered solar from YSG in July of 2019. It was an entire Brooklyn roof of panels. 26 panels, about 26k for the entire install, before rebates etc.
It's now February, 2021 and YSG still hasn't completed the work. They've missed or broken dozens and dozens of appointments and promises. I literally have been calling, emailing, screaming and fighting with this company for almost two years. I've seen employee

Read any negative review on Yelp. It is the truth. Anything positive must be a lie. DO NOT hire this company. David Magid is a charlatan. They never finished the job. Never bothered to finish any of the paperwork at the building department. It's been 2 years of trying to resolve the issues. They are such horrible people They even blamed their incompetence on Covid 19. Deplorable. Let me repeat again. DO NOT HIRE David Magid or any of his band of fools to do a solar project for you. YSG Solar is the worst possible choice you can make in your life. Beware!

DO NOT USE this company!! My contract is NOT UP YET and they will not call me back. Read all the other negative Yelp reviews on YSG.... All the same, once they get you to sign with them, they will answer you in the beginning. Then good luck towards the middle and the end of your contract, NO PHONES CALLS BACK! If they post a response back on Yelp, they LIE. For one month, I reached out to them and still no return phone call. What company does that?? They emailed me back and said my contract was up. LIE! If they post a copy of my contract showing it expired, it will be a LIE! It expires September

I spent probably a good year going back and forth between a few companies looking for the best option. I called countless past customers for their experience etc before finally deciding to go with YSG. My neighbor had used YSG and had nothing but good things to say so I figured why not and gave it a shot. For a guy on the younger side, the owner really knows his stuff. He spent I'd say probably a collective 5 hours over the course of a few months answering my MANY calls and many emails. I feel like these days it's not typical to get the actual owner of a company on the phone but he made

After researching several of the top solar companies in our area we went with YSG Solar and we are glad we did. The project proceeded just as the sales rep explained it would and the cost was exactly what the written proposal said it would be. We were notified all along the way by email at each step. Getting the funding for the system was easy and painless... all done electronically and guided by YSG. When it was time for our install we were notified that there was a shortage of our selected panels so they upgraded us at NO Charge to us to the next highest rated panel which produces more energy

YSG Solar takes you step by step with your solar paneling installation. Not all homes are solar panel ready, and YSG Solar will tell you honestly if your home is suited for this installation. Phone calls and e-mails are responded to quickly. Even after the job is done and you see the savings they are still there to answer questions you may have.

After getting quote from a handful of Solar companies I chose YSG because they offered the best prices and were the most transparent as far as financing, installation, and the products that would be part of the system. Also I was never pressured into decisions, credit checks, or contract unlike all other companies out there.
I worked with Kenneth who is fantastic sales guy to work with and always follows up on your questions, picking up your calls, follows up on emails, and comes through on all of the promises made.
I'm now referring other friends and family to contact Ken for their solar

This company is TERRIBLE and David, the manager doesn't care and knows NOTHING about customer service and the value of money. For a system that cost over $20,000, a year later, and my solar is still not connecting and I'm being charged my regular billing by Con Edison. After endless calls and emails, Raymond, Mary and everyone else in the office, is only focusing on the new customers, not ensuring that existing customers systems are up and running. They go days, weeks and even a month without a follow up or return call. Also, forget your credits and tax documents being done on time. I

After looking into several solar companies, we decided to go with YSG and was glad we did. They took the time to answer every single question I had, and I never felt pressured to purchasing the solar unlike the other companies. The work they did was neat and on time. Upon completion of the solar, they followed up several times to see how the solar was performing and to make sure my electricity bill was correct. If your looking to add solar, definitely check out YSG.
