Company Advocates for Ongoing Solar Maintenance and Education to Protect Consumer Investment and Boost Energy Equity

SYRACUSE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 5, 2025 / As solar adoption accelerates across the Empire State, New York Electric and Solar is launching a new awareness initiative aimed at educating consumers on the often-overlooked importance of solar system maintenance and monitoring. With a firm belief that going solar is only the beginning, the company is calling on home and business owners to be proactive stewards of their systems - to ensure long-term performance, meet warranty requirements, and secure their investment in clean energy.

"Too many systems are underperforming or failing due to lack of maintenance," said David Kozlowski, founder of New York Electric and Solar. "People think once solar is installed, that's it - but just like a car or HVAC unit, it needs regular checkups. That's why we're speaking up."

The Hidden Challenge: Solar Without Support

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that up to 30% of residential solar systems experience underperformance within the first five years - often due to issues like inverter errors, wiring faults, or environmental degradation. Many of these issues are preventable through early detection and professional intervention.

To combat this, New York Electric and Solar offers:

• One-time diagnostics and repair services

• O&M subscription plans for commercial and residential systems

• 24/7 remote system monitoring to catch issues early and maintain peak efficiency

"Monitoring isn't a luxury - it's critical," said Kozlowski. "It's also what helps customers qualify for warranty coverage if anything fails. Without it, you could be left footing the bill."

Advocacy Through Education

In a market filled with fast-scaling installers and sub-contractors, New York Electric and Solar is pushing for a smarter, more transparent solar experience. Unlike many companies that disappear after the install, they pride themselves on in-house service teams and ongoing support.

"Solar shouldn't feel like a black box," Kozlowski added. "We walk our customers through every panel, every setting. Education and trust are what set us apart."

Their message is clear: true energy independence means not just generating your own power - but understanding and managing it long-term.

Don't Just Go Solar - Stay Solar-Savvy

With over 17 years of hands-on experience in solar energy systems, New York Electric and Solar is encouraging everyone - even those with existing systems installed by other providers - to have their systems checked.

Here's what you can do today:

• Schedule a solar health check. If your system hasn't been looked at in over a year, it's time.

• Ask your installer about monitoring. If they don't offer it, consider switching providers.

• Join the conversation. Follow New York Electric and Solar on social media to stay up to date with maintenance tips, solar news, and real customer stories.

"This isn't just about profit - it's about protecting people's investments and building a sustainable future that works," said Kozlowski. "Let's make solar smarter together."
