Hi all,
My pre-war building potentially needs the roof replaced. We are thinking about pairing the roof replacement with the introduction of solar panels. We need to find some specialist engineers who could guide us through the cost benefits and feasibility of this plan. Presently we have wood joists under the roof. Does anyone have a referral base of specialists in these areas? Any guidance at all is appreciated.
thanks very much!
Contact Bright Power and ask for Darren Johnson. Bright Power is a leader in all things energy. Our building is starting to think about doing the same.

This company has been installing solar panels all over Bklyn.
"Brooklyn Solar Works" (347-474-7144. They just installed solar panels in a co-op building in Prospect Pk S.W. the super said they are getting cuts already on their electric bills. It's a win win. Wish my building will do it, but they can't move away from 1990. Best of Luck
Another minor issue you may encounter if your building is landmarked and any part of the solar panel installation will be visible from grade level along what's called a "view line", you may need to check with the Landmarks Preservation Commission. They sometimes get persnickety about what should be a non-issue.
If you are landmarked and someone who passes by your building sees the solar panels and complains to the LPC, expect a visit from an inspector. So if you're landmarked, check with the contractor who's doing the installation.
If you're not landmarked, please disregard all of the above...
