So you are looking to go solar or take advantage of our other offerings but that nagging voice in your head says “aint nobody coming onto my property from the government”. This is SO common that we actually gather long term statistics about it from our property owners that we met with, but that weren’t in a position to take advantage of solar.
We have met with OVER 8000 property owners in the last 5 years,
All 5 years of solar business this has ranked as the
#1 REASON that property owners
on Long Island and in NYC do not go solar.
Most property owners in our market have done some kind of unpermitted work on their property that has yet to be “maintained” or “legalized” and it is an extremely widespread concern.
The #1 REASON for NOT permitting work on the property is to avoid additional property taxes
Solution: We run the property tax comps on properties featuring a “legal” version of your property’s unpermitted feature. If additional tax burden exceeds the savings from solar in the short term, we will simply consider you our new friend in the neighborhood. We can help you earn money from referrals to pay your exorbitant electric bill.
The #2 REASON for NOT permitting work on the property is that the owner doesn’t know or thinks they are grandfathered in
Solution: We can help with the legalization process and costs based on the size and scope of the project. We maintain a fund for this process that has been saved over many years. For simple permits like pools, we can cover the entire cost of permit fees, prepare the permit package and pull the permit as your agent. Once your “illegal” item passes inspection, we also close the permit for you.
The #3 REASON for NOT permitting work on the property is that the cost or process to legalize the work is prohibitive
Solution: We can help with the legalization process and costs based on the size and scope of the project. We know the estimated costs for most towns and types of permits. If the cost is going to be excessive, or a variance will be required, we will not allow you to move forward with the project.
