Brooklyn SolarWorks

Brooklyn SolarWorks is a turnkey solar installer founded in 2015 with the mission to make solar appealing, easy, and available for all of NYC’s urban homeowners. The company specializes in designing, permitting, and installing custom solar systems, with a particular focus on the unique challenges of flat-roof residential and small commercial buildings in New York City. To address the constraints of the dense urban environment—which most conventional contractors avoid—Brooklyn SolarWorks pioneered and patented an innovative solution called the Brooklyn Solar Canopy, which elevates panels above rooftop obstructions to significantly increase solar potential.

The company’s success is built on a hyper-local focus, with the majority of its over 2,500 completed projects located within a small number of Brooklyn zip codes, allowing for a deep connection with the communities it serves. Brooklyn SolarWorks has achieved an unparalleled mastery of the city’s complex codes, zoning, and permitting rules, positioning it as a leader in New York City’s transition to renewable energy. This dedication to tailored solutions and expertise in navigating the local market has resulted in the company being recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
