Delaware River Solar Overview
Delaware River Solar sets up community solar farms. They invite both individuals and businesses to become subscribers to a certain farm, receiving solar bill credits in return. Delaware River Solar focuses on the New York State area and already operates over 40 of these farms. More specifically, clients using the following utilities can enroll:
- NYSEG
- RGE

The company started in 2016 and in a relatively short period they garnered a positive reputation, boasting multiple active projects. Their focus seems to be enabling renewable energy projects to limit the necessity of using fossil fuels, while also helping communities save on their electricity bills. They launch new projects on a monthly basis, creating the opportunity for more and more customers to sign up.
Delaware River Solar Services and Specifics
Solar Panels and Services Offered by Delaware River Solar
Specific Solar Panels Offered
Many of the Delaware River Solar projects are ground-mounted solar parks, also called farms. The company develops and builds these solar farms and also operate them. These farms form part of a network, incorporating grids, panels and energy captivators, in order to trap energy and store it.
Specific Types of Solar Offered
Delaware River Solar clients can subscribe to gain access to the stored renewable energy, rather than using only power from the traditional grid. It’s an alternative that makes sense for property owners—residential or commercial—that don’t have space for solar installations on their premises.
Clients subscribe to a specific solar farm, and if there’s no current availability, one can monitor new projects on the website to become part of.
Costs
Delaware River Solar claims that after subscription and as soon as a farm goes live, most clients can save around 5% on their utility bills. In practice, credits a subscriber earns will go towards their utility, lowering that cost. Then, Delaware River Solar charges the subscriber for the credits, but at a discount rate and this is what results in the substantial savings.
Both on the Delaware River Solar website and social media pages, clients share positive experiences in relation to utility savings. They notice the savings from the first month of use. At times there are waiting periods if you subscribe to a farm that’s still under development. However, most clients are onboarded very quickly.
Clients also feel the company treats them fairly. For example, where clients apply to solar farms that are still being developed, they’re only charged from the month the system goes live. For most clients the savings reflect on a monthly basis and some of them report drops in utility expenses of up to 10%.
Legitimacy
Delaware River Solar is definitely a legitimate company. For one thing, there are multiple news stories mentioning them as a service provider in state projects. Around 2021 they were part of a 3 Gigawatts project in New York. The Clean Energy Pipeline also mentions the brand’s nine agreements with SolaREIT, relating to community solar projects.
In addition, one can obtain up to date information about their various projects via their website, such as whether a project is sold out already. This proves they’re still in business and regularly starting new projects.
Maintenance
For individuals or businesses that buy into one of the community solar farms, there’s no maintenance or upkeep to concern themselves with. Delaware River Solar handles all of this as part of operating the various solar farms.
In terms of maintaining customer accounts and customer service, the company seems very efficient. Many clients’ feedback include a mention of how quick they are to respond to enquiries.
Conclusion
Delaware River Solar is helping New York State locals lower their carbon footprint while also saving money. It’s encouraging to see a company that seems driven to benefit both the environment and the community.
Feedback shows there are many benefits, good customer care and no risk to sign up and partner with them. Using their services is a smart and viable option for anyone wanting off the grid, but who lacks space and resources.
