Flat Roof Specialty

Most installers skip it.
We specialize in it.

Flat roofs are common across NYC's outer boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island — and in many Westchester and Long Island commercial properties. Most solar installers avoid them. We don't. EnergiSense specializes in flat-roof solar, using the GAF Liberty membrane system for NYC outer-borough projects and standard penetration-sealed racking for low-slope residential. To qualify, a flat roof needs 10+ years of life remaining (versus 15+ for standard shingle). If yours is close, we inspect it as part of the site visit and quote a re-roof first if needed.

Note: select towns (Floral Park, Lynbrook, Old Westbury) restrict front-facing panel placement. We account for this in the design.

The roof comes first.
Then the solar.

Filtered to roofing and bundle installs.

Alex helped me replace my roof with a top-of-the-line GAF HDZ system, new siding, and solar — managed permits, scheduling, and inspections start to finish. The workmanship is excellent and the system has already lowered my bill.

Roofing FAQ

The roofing questions
we keep getting.

Will my roof need to be replaced first?

If your shingles have 5+ years left, panels go up directly. If not, we replace the roof first — usually with the GAF HDZ — and bundle the labor so you only pay the differential. For flat roofs, we need 10+ years of roof life remaining.

What does it cost up front?

$0 down with our standard financing (650+ credit). Current state, utility, and financing incentives are modeled on your proposal before you sign anything. Most homeowners with an $80+ monthly bill can review a cash-flow path before committing.

How long until panels are producing?

Typical timeline from signed agreement to permission-to-operate is 6–10 weeks. Bottleneck is utility interconnection (PSEG / Con Edison), not us. We file early and chase weekly.

What happens if a panel fails?

25-year production warranty (92% at year 25), 12-year product warranty, 12-year inverter warranty, 10-year workmanship warranty. Alex is a phone call or text away if anything goes wrong.

Will you sell my data?

No. We are not a lead aggregator. Your information goes to Alex, period. No third-party CRM passes, no resold data, no aggressive call campaigns.
