Thank you, thank you! Four years in a row, we thank you!

The results are in for 2012! For the fourth year in a row, we were voted a BEST OF LONG ISLAND Solar Energy Company, thanks to our customers, colleagues and friends!! We cannot thank you enough. Your support means everything to us. We were also voted a BEST OF LONG ISLAND 2012 Alternative Energy Company, a new category for us this year.
 

As Long Island's premier turnkey solar-electric provider, Built Well Solar Corp. has worked in conjunction with the LIPA Solar Pioneer and LIPA Solar Entrepreneur programs since they began. In fact, at the industry's inception when there were only two solar companies on Long Island, we were one of those originals! We are very grateful that we were again voted the Best of Long Island out of some forty or fifty newcomers since then, a testament to the trust our customers have placed in us over the past 10 years, and our experience and expertise in this dynamic field!


We are so grateful to announce that we're BEST OF LONG ISLAND for the fourth year in a row!!
Built Well Solar celebrating its 10th year in business!

"Capturing the power of the sun since 2001" is much more than our slogan. We are proud to be one of just two original solar energy companies on Long Island, established when there was no solar industry. We are proud to remain a vibrant company in a dynamic industry still in its infancy, and pleased to have passed the test of time for our customers and among colleagues, new and old.

As a member of the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores, Built Well Solar is celebrating 10 years in business.

Our 10-year anniversary was recently celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores.

Reduce your electric bills...plug into the power of the sun... It's viable, affordable and, with Built Well Solar, it's easy!

Capturing the power of the sun since 2001!

Built Well Solar Corp. is New York's premier solar energy system provider. We are a premier Long Island solar design and installation company. We have designed and installed more PV systems on Long Island than most other solar-electric companies combined, and more in Nassau County than anyone else. By installing solar electric power, we have helped homeowners, businesses and non-profits save untold thousands of dollars because future-thinking Long Islanders now have the sun supplying their electricity needs. 

High-quality = built well . . .
We are the leading local provider for good reason. As our name attests, our solar-electric systems are built well.....we have been designing and installing solar energy systems for close to a decade, an original 2001 "Solar Pioneer"company here on Long Island, with a solid track record of satisfied customers and optimally running systems unmatched by other companies.  Also, don't be fooled by reduced pricing of inefficient low cost, low-grade equipment sometimes bought in bulk. We use only high-quality, fully warrantied equipment -- only brand-name panels and inverters, as well as finely engineered mounting systems -- selected precisely for your individual site's requirements to optimize efficiency and cost savings.


Be sure to contact us at 516-695-1000 or info@builtwellsolar.com for your FREE, no-obligation home or business evaluation. Built Well Solar offers solar electric, solar hot water, and solar pool heating.

Now is the time to review those summer electricity bills and plan on installing your solar-electricity system this spring to avoid those again next year. Also, brace yourself for those winter utility bills and plan now for savings by scheduling your switch to solar hot water! Each item in our product line above is provided fully designed and installed - click on each one above for more information. 

Schedule your installation today! 
Right now is the time to have us come by to evaluate your home for solar electricity and solar hot water, to fill out the necessary paperwork, and have us begin the LIPA rebate submittal process and the town permitting process, so YOU CAN START SAVING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE on your electricity and utility bills!!!!!
  • The energy efficient and attractive "Skylight-look" VELUX solar hot water systems that Built Well Solar exclusively offers locally benefit from generous tax credits noted below, making them remarkable affordable, and are usually installed quickly, just a few weeks for planning and permitting and just a day or two for installation!
  • A quality solar electric (photovoltatic or PV) system, such as those installed by Built Well Solar, takes a little time for planning, design, permitting and other paperwork, so it makes sense to start the process early. Solar electric systems also benefit from the tax credits noted below, plus we will include in that planning and paperwork the accommodation for you to benefit from the LIPA Solar Pioneer residential rebate program.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE NOTE:  The current 2011 LIPA cash rebate program offers up to $17,500 cash toward a 10kW solar electricity (PV) residential system-- 1.75 per watt!


Experience the difference.

Since we've installed more systems on Long Island than most other companies combined—and more in Nassau than anyone else -- our installers are not only highly trained professionals but have the practical experience and an understanding of our location's unique weather conditions and utility company/electrical requirements that make a difference. You can rest easy with our professional photovoltaics expertise, since we handle every aspect of the process, from our first visit to your first reduced electricity bill. Not only that, because we have been through the process on Long Island hundreds of times, we know the ins and outs of completing all the necessary paperwork and meeting all requirements, including building permits, code requirements, electrical specifications, inspections, and so on. 

The ultimate payback
The ultimate payback of any solar-electric installation, of course, is the difference it makes to planet earth. But, the payback financially to you as the residential or commercial owner of the system matters too! We help you make the most of both.

  • We assist you in taking full advantage of all available financial incentives -- the generous LIPA rebate dollars combined with state and federal tax credits that significantly reduce the installed system price. We even offer an attractive financing package to help you pay for the initial outlay, and will show you just how quickly your particular system begins to pay for itself!
  • We'll install a top-quality, efficient system for you that truly helps planet earth. The average solar-electric system that we install eliminates over 14,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions in the first year, equivalent to planting 48,000 square feet of new trees or removing the auto emissions of driving from New York to Los Angeles and back six times.

Home (and planet) improvement: Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular home improvement for many reasons, primarily the opportunity to cut —often eliminate— electric bills, to increase assessed property value, and to help our planet. Popular solar energy choices include photovoltaic (PV) solar-electric systems as well as solar hot water and solar pool heating!

Seven great reasons solar energy makes sense:
1. You will slash, possibly eliminate, your current electric bill. You'll even see your electric meter run backwards!
2. It's increasingly affordable, particularly on Long Island -- much of the installation price of a photovoltaic (PV) solar-electric system is offset by LIPA rebates and other financial incentives such as tax credits, sales exemptions, and a real property tax exemption.
3. It's good for the earth, part of the solution to global warming and our overdependence on fossil fuels. It's patriotic, and the
right thing to do for our children, for future generations.
4. Since a solar-electric system returns energy to the power grid, you'll help reduce the regional energy demand.
5. A solar-electric system adds value to your home or business.
6. Solar is hot. You'll be part of an exciting trend expected to grow 20% each year during the next few decades alone.
7. You will be among an increasing number of future-thinking Long Islanders and join the ranks of many
celebrities who have embraced the idea of using solar energy as their way of saving the earth. It is fast
becoming a status symbol from Hollywood to the Hamptons, from Malibu to Merrick to Montauk...and everywhere in between.
