EmPower Solar

Recently we completed the installation of a 70kW system for The Nature Conservancy in New York (TNC) at their Cold Spring Harbor offices. The TNC team caught up with Hilario Minaya, one of our talented installers, to learn how he got started in the industry and how working in solar can help us recover from the effects of the pandemic while building up the local clean energy economy. I recommend it to my friends, he says of work in the solar field. This industry is hiring ...a lot of people. Interested in joining our team?

We’re ending 2020 on a high note! Here’s a look at one of our recent jobs, a 490 kW system at a community sports center in Suffolk County, NY. The system was built to serve as a community solar host site, meaning that the public will soon be able to purchase solar energy generated by the system and reduce their electric bills. Foreman Cody Smith, installer David Ian Gareth Cockrill and the rest of our incredibly talented team worked hard to close out the sports center and a number of other complex commercial projects this year. We are also deeply grateful to the dedicated PSEG Long Island Power Asset Management and Building Renovation Services teams for supporting us during COVID and weather-related challenges. Cheers to all! #solar #solarenergy #commercialsolar #communitysolar #newyorksolar #nysolar #empowersolar #ElectrifyYourLife

With Election Day rapidly approaching, we reflect on the great privilege, honor, and responsibility that comes with living in a thriving democracy. EmPower is proud to work with a diverse group of political figures across the political spectrum to accomplish our goal of empowering the world with solar energy. Fortunately, solar enjoys bipartisan support, especially in New York. Earlier this week, Gregory Marks, candidate for Member of the New York State Assembly, District 20,... visited one of our Lido Beach installations to learn more about how solar, batteries, and electric vehicles work together. The project features a 16 kW system with 2 Tesla Powerwalls and two electric vehicles. In the event of a blackout, this homeowner will be able to power their refrigerator, televisions, internet router, computers, and to charge their electric vehicles. Our CEO David G. Schieren gave Gregory a crash course in battery backup systems, and they discussed the need to accelerate the clean energy movement in order to protect our environment and public health. Information on Gregory’s campaign can be found at gregorymarksny.com, and information on Assemblywoman Melissa "Missy" Miller, who is running for re-election in District 20, can be found at assembly.state.ny.us/mem/Melissa-Miller. Information on how and when to vote can be found at elections.ny.gov. #electionday #vote #renewableenergy #ElectrifyYourLife
