Where Brooklyn SolarWorks Installs

Brooklyn SolarWorks serves Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens, per its own site.

A county on this list means the company advertises work there, not that a crew is based there. Ask where the crew that will be on your roof actually sits; a local base shows up as faster service calls later.

Brands the company names on its site:

  • Inverters: Enphase (monitoring app referenced)

The roof line is the one most homeowners forget to ask about: equipment warranties come from manufacturers, while the holes in your roof are the installer’s. Get that coverage in writing, in the contract, not in a brochure.

How You Can Pay

  • Cash purchase
  • Flex Plan: a pre-paid 10-year lease in which Brooklyn SolarWorks installs, owns and maintains the system

Whichever route you take, ask for the cash price and the financed price side by side. The gap between them is where dealer fees hide, and it is the first number our quote guide tells you to find.
