Transparent pricing for Carmel, Brewster, Mahopac, Cold Spring, Patterson, Kent, Putnam Valley, and Philipstown. Rent month-to-month from $3,525/mo or buy a permanent installed solar tower from $42,300. Same-day deploy from our Bronx GBP at 460 E Fordham Rd. NYS-licensed, 4.7★ across 170+ Bronx GBP reviews. Zero power drop, zero trenching, zero guard-shack overhead.
Three rental configurations sized for Putnam jobsites — from short-term road work to multi-acre subdivision builds. All include delivery from Bronx, on-site commissioning, and pickup at end of term.
For projects over 24 months or contractors with multiple concurrent Putnam jobsites, owning is typically cheaper than renting. Two purchase paths — mobile (you tow it) or installed (we anchor it permanently).
Three real factors shape the Putnam baseline versus the Brooklyn/NYC entry rate of $2,500/mo.
Our Bronx GBP at 460 E Fordham Rd is roughly 60 minutes via I-684 / Taconic to most Putnam towns — Carmel, Brewster, Mahopac. Compared to a 25-minute Brooklyn tow, the round-trip fuel and driver time on every delivery, reposition, and service visit adds real cost.
Putnam winters bottom out below 5°F multiple nights per year (Kent Cliffs, Patterson, Cold Spring riverbanks). LiFePO₄ + heated battery enclosure is standard on every Putnam unit, not an upsell. Cheap AGM units that drive the $800 national floor don't survive a Carmel January.
Branch Auxiliary Dam, East Branch Reservoir, Croton Falls Reservoir, Boyd's Corner — large parts of Putnam sit inside NYC DEP watershed boundaries with strict fuel and contamination rules. Our pure-solar units (no fuel onboard) qualify automatically; the watershed-rated Max tier handles the rest.

| NYC DEP watershed-rated | Yes (pure solar standard) | Usually no | N/A |

Real questions we get from Putnam GCs, property owners, and estate managers about pricing.
Entry tier rental at $3,525/mo, single-head, self-monitored. You handle alerts via the app. Best fit for short-term work (1–3 months) on a parcel where you have foreman coverage 12+ hours per day. Past 4 months, the math swings toward the Pro tier with monitoring.
For a multifamily build or any parcel with $50k+ of materials onboard, yes — the live agent talkdown stops 90%+ of attempted thefts on first trigger, and most Putnam GCs report builders-risk policy credits of 5–12% from Chubb or Travelers for monitored video, which often eats the entire upcharge.
No — uniform Putnam County pricing across all six towns, both villages (Brewster, Cold Spring, Nelsonville). No fuel surcharge for far Putnam Valley or eastern Patterson.
Concrete-anchored deep-foot installation, quad-head 4K PTZ array, hardened solar panels, lithium battery cabinet, NDAA-compliant components if requested, dual-SIM cellular, mobile app + 1-year cloud retention, and a 1-year parts warranty. Site survey, permitting where required, and commissioning included.
Yes — custom financing on the installed tower with deposit + milestone installments + final at commissioning. Most Putnam clients finance over 24–36 months. Mobile trailer purchases finance similarly with approved credit.
30-day minimum on all tiers. Most Putnam projects (Fortune Ridge phases, Baldwin Estates, Branch Dam slope work) run 4–18 months. Weekly rates available at premium for sub-30-day events.
No. Monthly rate includes Bronx-to-Putnam delivery, on-site commissioning, app login provisioning, cellular registration, and end-of-term pickup. Two free repositions per term included. Add-ons (extended cloud, thermal, LPR lane) priced separately.
50% deposit on rentals over $5,000 total contract value. Jobs under $5,000 require full payment upfront. Standard across our work and matches the master contract.
