Residential Solar
Residential solar is a great choice if you have a suitable location
for solar panels on your roof or property. There are three main
incentives available for homes in the area.
Work with a participating NY-Sun contractor to discuss available rebates. For those earning less than 80% of the area median income, you may qualify for additional rebates. Talk to your contractor for more information about these opportunities.
25% of cost, after the rebate, up to $5,000. Credit can be claimed over five years.
30% of cost, after the rebate. Valid for projects completed through the end of 2032.
In addition, there are financing options to help pay for the remainder of the cost after incentives.
Community Solar
Community solar subscriptions allow you to buy renewable
electricity directly from a solar farm in NYS without owning the
panels. This can be a great option for renters or those unable to
install a solar system on their property.
Community solar models don’t have upfront costs, are usually
short-term contracts, and are generally cheaper than utility rates.
These projects typically offer either a 5% or 10% discount.
Community solar works for those who receive a bill from a major
utility (e.g. NYSEG or National Grid) and do not have a
demand charge on their bill.
