Brooklyn SolarWorks

Brooklyn SolarWorks was founded in 2015 by three seasoned industry professionals who shared a common mission: to make solar appealing, easy and available for Brooklyn’s urban homeowners.  For years most solar contractors in the area had embraced methods and practices that were developed for the suburban customer and home, making the unique features of the urban built environment a poor fit for conventional business models. As a result, the industry as a whole avoided the borough’s dense residential neighborhoods and iconic flat roof townhomes, even as nearby Staten Island, New Jersey and Long Island – just a bridge or tunnel away – achieved some of the highest solar adoption rates in the country.  As a business Brooklyn SolarWorks has been built from top to bottom to close this gap, and to extend to local homeowners the convenience, environmental impact and attractive financial return that solar ownership promises. Achieving this has meant much more than adding “Brooklyn” to our name or opening an office in Gowanus. It has meant pioneering entirely new design and installation methods that match the unique characteristics of the local housing stock. It has meant acquiring a deep and peerless mastery of the City’s complex code, zoning and permitting rules. And it has meant cultivating an approach to customer service that exceeds client expectations in one of the world’s most valuable and sophisticated real estate markets.
