Looking to lower your energy bills, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and gain long-term energy security? Solar power offers a proven path toward all three, and with Halco Home Solutions, your investment in solar is handled by the region’s most experienced and trusted home energy experts.
From rooftop, ground-mounted, and pole mounted solar panels to battery storage and smart home electrical integration, Halco designs systems that go beyond basic solar. We connect your solar installation to the rest of your home, ensuring maximum efficiency, comfort, and long-term savings.
Types of Solar Systems We Install
The energy needs of every home are different, which is why we offer a variety of solar solutions:
Grid-Tied Solar
The most common and cost-effective setup, grid-tied systems allow you to generate your own electricity and get one-for-one credit called net metering for any extra power you send back to the grid. These credits roll over monthly, to offset future bills and balance out seasonal changes.
Solar + Battery Storage
Looking for power during outages? We install solar systems with battery storage systems, allowing you to stay comfortable even when the grid goes down.
Off-Grid & Hybrid Options
For rural properties or those seeking complete energy independence, Halco can design standalone or hybrid systems with solar, battery, and backup generation, like a standby generator.
A Whole-Home Approach to Solar
Unlike standalone solar installers, Halco takes a whole-home view of energy. That means your solar system isn’t designed in a vacuum; it’s tailored around your home’s current usage, future needs, and the other systems that affect energy demand, like HVAC, insulation, and water heating.
Thinking about solar battery storage or heating upgrades? We help you plan for that, too.
- Solar + Heat Pumps: Pairing solar with cold-climate air source or geothermal heat pumps gives you year-round comfort powered by clean electricity.
- Solar + Insulation: Improve efficiency and reduce system sizing by insulating your home first.
- Solar + Battery Storage: Store power for critical loads when the grid goes down.
- Solar + EV Charging: Fuel your car with solar power and take full control of your energy use.
The ideal, ultimate, all-electric home makes use of all of these efficiency upgrades, which reduces the amount of solar panels required in the first place by reducing energy consumption from the ground up. With Halco, all of these systems are designed, installed, and supported by one in-house team.

Why Go Solar?
Solar panels convert sunlight into clean electricity, helping you take control of rising utility costs while dramatically cutting carbon emissions. Whether you’re exploring solar for the first time or are already sold on its benefits, Halco ensures you get a system that performs, integrates, and lasts.
Benefits of solar energy include:
- Lower monthly electric bills from day one
- Protection against future utility rate hikes
- Reliable performance from grid-tied or battery-backed systems
- Clean, renewable energy with no emissions
- Seamless pairing with heat pumps, EV chargers, and whole-home systems
Increased Property Value
Installing solar increases your property value by approximately 5-6%. This investment is protected through increased equity and will not result in higher property taxes.
Strong Return on Investment
The typical payback period in New York is between 6 and 12 years, yielding an average of 10% ROI. Since these systems are warrantied for 25 years and remain highly functional well beyond that, homeowners can benefit from over a decade of free electricity and tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
