Serving Albany & the Capital Region

Solar for Albany
& the Capital Region.

Historic city rowhouses, suburban homes, and open land a short drive away: the Capital Region has it all, along with real winters. We design solar that's built for both.

Why the Capital Region

Real winters.
Real savings.

The Capital Region covers the city of Albany and suburbs like Colonie, Bethlehem, Guilderland, and Niskayuna, plus Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. Homes range from 19th-century city rowhouses to newer suburban builds and rural properties with room for ground-mount arrays. New York's solar incentives are among the strongest in the country, and they apply here in full.

Local Knowledge

Built for the Capital Region.

Built for Upstate Winters

Capital Region winters bring heavy snow and hard freeze-thaw cycles. We engineer mounting and roof attachments for local snow loads.

National Grid Interconnection

National Grid serves most of the Capital Region. We confirm your utility early and handle net metering and interconnection for you.

NY-Sun & State Tax Credit

New York's NY-Sun incentive through NYSERDA and the state solar tax credit (25% of system cost, up to $5,000) can significantly lower your cost, and residential solar is exempt from state sales tax.

Historic City Homes

Albany's historic districts, like Center Square, have rowhouses and brownstones where exterior changes may need local review. We plan the design and approvals around that from day one.

Licensed, Bonded & Insured

Legacy Custom Solar is fully licensed to work throughout New York and Connecticut, including the Capital Region, and every installation is backed by our workmanship warranty in addition to full manufacturer coverage.

Roofing & Solar, One Crew

We're a division of Legacy Custom Builders, a 30-year custom construction company. In the Capital Region, that means the same crew handles the roofing and the solar, so nothing falls through the cracks between contractors.

Common Questions

Before you reach out.

Does solar make sense with Capital Region winters?

Yes. Solar panels work well in cold weather, and New York's net metering credits the extra power you produce on long summer days against winter bills. We size systems on a full year of local sun data, not just the sunny months.

Which utility serves my home?

National Grid serves most of the Capital Region, but it depends on your address. We confirm your utility during the assessment and handle interconnection either way.

What incentives are available in New York?

NY-Sun incentives through NYSERDA, the New York State solar tax credit (25% of system cost, up to $5,000), a state sales tax exemption on residential solar, and, in most municipalities, a 15-year property tax exemption. We'll tell you exactly what applies to your home.
