A Hamlet Rebuilt by a Formerly Enslaved "Pickle King"
Greenlawn was once called Old Fields. In 1871, the Long Island Rail Road renamed its station Greenlawn, and the name stayed.
One of Greenlawn’s most important figures was Samuel Ballton, known as the “Pickle King.” He became a successful cucumber farmer and later helped develop parts of the community. Today, Samuel Ballton Way honors his legacy.
Greenlawn’s homes also reflect its history, from older farmhouses and Colonials to postwar ranches and split levels. Because these homes were built at different times, roof age and condition can vary greatly, making a professional inspection especially important.

A formerly enslaved man who became a successful cucumber farmer and helped develop parts of the community. Samuel Ballton Way carries his name today.
Housing Stock
A Mix of Eras
Farmhouses and Colonials sit alongside postwar ranches and split levels, so roof age and condition vary widely from block to block.

Greenlawn Solar FAQ
How much do solar panels cost for a home in Greenlawn?
It depends mainly on your roof size and pitch, how many panels you need, and how much of your PSEG Long Island bill you’re trying to offset. Older Greenlawn homes may also need roof work first, which adds to the total. We give an exact number after a free on-site evaluation, not a generic estimate.
Do I need a special permit to install solar in the Town of Huntington?
Yes. Huntington runs its own Solar Energy System Fast Track process, requiring specific forms, a Professional Engineer’s wind-load certification, and installation by a NY-Sun participating contractor.
Will installing solar increase my property taxes in Greenlawn?
Under RPTL §487, the added home value from a solar installation is exempt from property tax assessment for 15 years, as long as no local taxing jurisdiction, town, county, or school district, has opted out of the exemption. We verify current opt-out status before every Greenlawn installation, since a jurisdiction’s position can change.
How does PSEG Long Island net metering work, and how long does interconnection take?
Excess power your system produces gets sent back to the grid and credited against future bills at PSEG’s net metering rate. Once your system is installed, PSEG’s interconnection review and approval typically takes a few weeks, and you can’t turn the system on until that approval comes through. We handle the interconnection paperwork as part of every installation.
Will tree shading on my Greenlawn lot affect production?
It can. Greenlawn’s tree-lined streets near Broadway and the historic downtown mean some roofs get more shade than others, especially in the afternoon. We check your roof’s actual sun exposure during the site evaluation and design panel placement around it, rather than assuming a standard layout will work.
Should I replace my roof before installing solar?
If your roof is more than 15 years old or already showing wear, it’s usually worth replacing before panels go up. Removing and reinstalling a solar system to fix a roof underneath it costs significantly more than doing the roof first. As a GAF-affiliated roofing contractor, we can evaluate and handle both in the same project.
Am I eligible for the NYS solar tax credit?
Most New York homeowners who purchase a solar system for their primary residence qualify for the state credit, worth 25 percent of system cost up to $5,000, against their state tax liability. Eligibility depends on your specific tax situation, so we recommend confirming the details with a tax professional before you file.
