Kasselman Solar

NYSERDA Platinum certified, with 4,000+ installations across New York. We design and install solar that cuts your utility bill and looks like it belongs on your house.

That second part matters more than most companies admit. Panel layout, conduit runs, and rack placement get the same scrutiny as system output, because you're going to look at this roof for the next 25 years.

Our electricians, project managers, and design engineers are Kasselman employees, and one project manager owns your job from contract through permission-to-operate — permits, utility paperwork, NYSERDA incentive filings, inspections. You'll know who to call, and you'll get the same person each time.

We're an affiliate of Kasselman Electric, a third-generation family business serving New York since 1948. A solar warranty is only worth the company standing behind it, and we plan to be here in year 12.

We'll also walk you through what's actually available to you: NYSERDA incentives, net metering, battery storage, and utility programs that pay you for supporting the grid. No pressure to buy a bigger system than your usage justifies.

And yes — every system we install means less demand for fossil fuels. That's a real part of why we do this. But we'll lead with your utility bill, because that's what makes the decision for most people.

Kasselman Solar designs and installs solar and battery storage for homes and businesses across New York State. We've completed 4,000+ installations over 12 years in business, and we hold NYSERDA's Platinum Quality Solar Installer rating for 2026 — the state's highest tier. We're an affiliate of Kasselman Electric, a third-generation family business serving New York's electrical construction market since 1948. Design, installation, and interconnection are handled by our own team, start to finish.

What we install: rooftop and ground-mount solar, battery storage, electrical service upgrades, EV charging, and generator integration — residential, commercial, and municipal.

Where we work: Vast majority of New York State, with offices in Menands (Capital Region) and Poughkeepsie (Hudson Valley). We don't currently install in New York City or on Long Island.

What sets us apart: We size systems against your actual utility usage, not your roof's maximum capacity — and we're as particular about how the install looks as how it performs. Panel layout, conduit runs, and rack placement get real attention, because you're going to look at this roof for 25 years.

Your project is run by our own team. A lot of solar companies sell you a system and then hand your roof off to whichever crew is available that week. We work differently. Our electricians, project managers, and design engineers are Kasselman employees — trained to our standard and accountable to you long after the install is done. When we do bring in a specialty trade, they work under our project manager and to our specs, and we stand behind the work either way. NYSERDA Platinum Quality Solar Installer. New York State's highest tier for solar installers, awarded on installation quality, customer satisfaction, and business practices. It's the rating your state assigns — not one we gave ourselves. An affiliate of Kasselman Electric. Kasselman Electric is a third-generation family business and one of New York's most trusted electrical contractors since 1948. We share that name, and we take our commitment to you as seriously as it deserves. We intend to be here when you need us in year 12. Licensed electricians and installers. Solar is an electrical project first. Our installation crews include licensed electricians on staff, so service panel upgrades, interconnections, and inspection prep are handled in-house — not by a solar crew that has to call someone else when they hit something unexpected. Dedicated project managers. One person owns your project from contract to permission-to-operate: permits, utility paperwork, NYSERDA incentive filings, inspection scheduling. They're who you call when you have a question, and you won't get bounced around. Experienced PV design engineers. Our in-house design team studies your roof, your shading, and your actual utility usage before drawing a single panel. The goal isn't the biggest system we can sell you — it's the system that covers your usage, fits your roof, and looks right on your house.

Couldn't have had a better experience!

Kasselman delivered for us from soup to nuts. They were one of the first to respond on Energy Sage initially and in the follow-up. They were also very responsive to all of my questions about solar in general, permitting, financing, etc. and their quote was easy to understand and competitive. We purchased a ground mount and they helped us figure out the siting -- the panels are not noticeable yet get a lot of sun. Construction was even earlier than expected and the workers were highly professional. I recommend this company without reservations.

Very Satisfied Client

Kasselman Solar completed a rooftop solar installation at my home, and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a similar project. From understanding my home’s generation needs to executing a contract, from working with my lender to completing the installation on time, Kasselman’s team worked seamlessly and as seasoned professionals. My family couldn’t be happier.

Great Company

Kasselman was terrific. Starting with James, PV designer and engineer, all the way to the electricians and workers who installed the system. Professional, courteous, and always there to answer any questions and make sure you were satisfied. Every step is laid out for you and you are always aware of the progress being made. Our Town Code Inspector commented they were the most efficient and professional company he has dealt with. We tried a local solar company. World of difference. Kasselman is the way to go. I very highly recommend them.

They did a good job

Kasselman installed our rooftop solar panels in September 2019. The office staff were extremely helpful in guiding us through the process step-by-step. They were very accessible by phone and email.The project was completed within a reasonable timeframe. There were some minor scheduling delays but they really didn’t matter in the end. In the 16 months since installation we have had zero problems with the system. My only concern is that in the winter the snow and ice slides off the panels all at once and I’m really glad it’s on the roof facing the backyard and not over a door that we use regularly. None of the companies we received bids from ever mentioned this is an issue. The industry should address this problem and offer snow guards as an option for the project. But overall we were very pleased with Kasselman.

James from Kasselman was great

I did not ultimately pick Kasselmann, but they gave me a good offer. I just happened to have started looking first outside of EnerguSage and the original company made sure their offer stayed better than what I got elsewhere. James likely would have matched up with that offer. Anyway James knew my situation and still gave a lot of helpful advice, I appreciated that. He came across as a reputable person. I may add to my system down the road to replace my oil heating system and I will look again at Kasselmann, because of James.
