About Us

Installing Solar Panels
Hi! I’m Ben. The owner of Tri State Solar, but so much more! In my free time, I love hanging out in the great outdoors. Plants and trees inspire me – and I recently nurtured my very own garden. I spend time meditating each day near the growing plants. It was that love of nature and my natural curiosity that made me so intrigued by the solar panels that I added to my home. I knew I had to learn more, and once I did, I was excited to share my knowledge with others. I am lucky to have the requisite experience I needed to launch my own solar business. I started my career as an accountant for a global cosmetics supplier in Brooklyn, NY. The insights I picked up in running an organized business served me well as I climbed the corporate ladder and became the CFO of a large commercial janitorial service. My experiences in the corporate world gave me the confidence and skills I needed as I segued into running Tri State Solar. Over the past few years, I stayed true to my vision. The goal I had for TSS was to make solar affordable to residents of Rockland NY and the surrounding area, while offering top quality products and service, too. I’m thankful to my clients and business partners. Their similar interests and our shared pride in our accomplishments give me a lot of satisfaction. Nature inspires me to be grateful, to value the environment, and to prioritize health. Solar panels helps me stay true to myself and promote a natural way of life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to harness the natural power of sunlight to make the world a better place.

Capture the Sun — Smartly.
Simple. Sustainable. Solar.

At Tri-State Solar Services, we believe solar should be honest, practical, and built to truly benefit the homeowner. Our mission is simple: help you take control of your energy, lower your costs, and invest in a system you actually own — one that’s designed to perform for decades. We proudly serve the Tri-State area with smart, sustainable solar solutions that are tailored to your home, your needs, and your long-term savings.

What We Do

We offer a full suite of services designed to make going solar easy, efficient, and worthwhile:

Roofing + Solar

If your roof needs replacement, we can coordinate a new roof and build it out with solar panels. This ensures your solar system is installed on a solid foundation and built to last.

Solar Panels

We help you own your solar system, so you can take advantage of the full financial and energy benefits of solar. Our systems capture sunlight and convert it into clean, usable electricity for your home — reducing utility bills and increasing long-term savings through a clean, efficient energy process.

Operations & Maintenance (O&M)

Our commitment doesn’t end after installation. We also offer optional O&M services to monitor, maintain, and care for your solar system long after it’s built. This is not a complimentary service, but an additional option for customers who want professional, long-term support to ensure peak performance.

Backup Battery Storage/Tesla Power Wall Partner

With battery storage, your home becomes more energy-independent. Store excess solar power and create a mini-grid that keeps your lights on during outages, protects critical systems, and provides peace of mind when the grid goes down.

Why Go Solar?

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity through high-efficiency solar cells. This process is clean, reliable, and sustainable — allowing you to power your home while reducing reliance on the grid. The result is lower energy costs, increased energy security, and meaningful long-term savings for the system owner.

Why Tri-State Solar Services?

What sets us apart is simple: we’re honest, human, and here for the long run.

  • Experience
  • We design systems you own, not lease
  • We focus on real savings, not sales pressure
  • We stand by our work with long-term commitment and service
  • We treat every project with care, transparency, and loyalty

Your solar system is an investment — and we’re here to protect it, support it, and help it deliver value for years to come.
