Solar Feasibility Study: Step By Step
1. Submit Your Address
Using your address, NY Engineers can analyze the feasibility of installing solar panels on your land or rooftop.
2. Professional Solar Design
Our experts can determine the optimal photovoltaic capacity and layout for your building, based on a careful assessment of your electricity needs.
3. Design Approval and Permitting
NY Engineers can deliver a solar PV system design according to local building codes, ensuring a quick approval with your city’s building department.
4. Qualify for Solar Incentives
Your solar installation will qualify for local incentives. Depending on your building’s location these may include cash rebates, tax exemptions, and low-interest or zero-interest solar loans.
5. Effective Project Management
NY Engineers is not only a design and consulting firm: Our team can manage your entire project, including the bidding and construction stages.
6. Energy Storage for 24/7 Power
Solar panels can be combined with energy storage systems, achieving a reliable power supply that remains available during nights and cloudy days.
Solar Power Benefits for Building Owners
1. Cut Your Electricity Bills
Solar panels can generate electricity for decades, using a free energy source that reaches your property every day: sunlight.
2. Avoid Volatile Energy Prices
Your building can use a solar power system with simple maintenance needs and a service life of over 25 years, instead of dealing with unpredictable electric tariffs.
3. Increase Your Building Value
A building that is capable of generating its own electricity becomes a more valuable asset, and the use of clean energy can improve your corporate image.
4. Attract Tenants
Buildings with solar power systems have lower energy costs, and this can attract tenants who are concerned about their power bills and environmental impact.
5. Compliance with Climate Laws
Solar power is a clean and renewable source. If your local government has renewable energy mandates or building emission limits, solar panels can help you meet them.
6. Solar Power Adapts to Any Property
NY Engineers can design the ideal system configuration for your building: rooftop-mounted, ground installation, parking lot canopy installation, etc.

Financial Guidance for Your Solar PV Project
1. Detailed Financial Breakdown
NY Engineers will calculate your solar installation costs, government and utility incentives, power generation, monthly savings and income, payback period and ROI.
2. Find the Ideal Purchasing Option
Get a detailed comparison of your solar power options: direct purchase, leasing a PV system, or signing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
3. Compare Your Financing Options
NY Engineers can help you qualify for low-interest or even zero-interest financing options for your solar installation. You can go solar for $0 upfront and pay the loan with your energy savings.
4. Federal Tax Incentives for Solar Power
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a nationwide incentive for solar panels, and business-owned systems also qualify for depreciation benefits under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
5. Local Tax Incentives for Solar Power
Solar power may qualify for additional tax incentives depending on your building’s location. These may include sales tax exemptions, property tax exemptions, and state tax credits.
6. Government and Utility Rebates
If your local government or utility company offers solar rebates, NY Engineers can get them for you. This represents a direct reduction of your project costs.
7. Renewable Energy Certificates
Some states have Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), which can be claimed by solar owners based on energy production, and sold to organizations with renewable energy mandates.
