Really? Solar power is a subsided racket and it doesn't actually work as advertised?
Color me shocked!
Marcor Solar, led by Gina Farese, provides support for orphaned solar energy systems on Long Island, ensuring continued service and maintenance.

There’s a reason Gina Farese is known to her employees as the foster mother of the solar industry.
The chief executive of West Babylon-based Marcor Construction and its sister company, Marcor Solar, has taken on the monumental task of servicing upward of 3,000 solar rooftops on Long Island and the five boroughs whose original installers or panel makers have either left the market, closed down or filed for bankruptcy.
It’s a little-discussed sector of the solar industry on Long Island that has seen considerable turnover after rebate programs and other incentives have come and gone, leasing companies ran Tupperware-like solar sales parties, and the industry continues to see ups and downs that justify its local moniker, the solar coaster.
WHAT NEWSDAY FOUND
Marcor Construction and Marcor Solar have taken on the task of servicing upward of 3,000 solar rooftops on Long Island and the five boroughs whose original installers or panel makers have either left the market, closed down or filed for bankruptcy.
For example, Marcor stepped in this week after EmPower Solar disclosed it was winding down operations just months after the federal government nixed a home solar tax credit.
Over the past decade more than a dozen solar installers, leasing companies and manufacturers have exited the market, leaving a large number of customers in the lurch as systems age and installation problems become more evident.
