NY-Sun
In New York, the sun shines for everyone.
New York State is making solar energy more accessible to homes, businesses, and communities through NY-Sun incentives and a network of qualified installers. Combined with declining equipment costs, New York State tax credits, and Inflation Reduction Act tax credits for commercial solar, going solar is a great option.
Types of Solar Energy
- On-site solar: Homes, businesses, multifamily buildings, and municipalities can get incentives to install rooftop or ground-mounted solar on their property to generate their own renewable energy.
- Community solar: Renters, homeowners, businesses, and other customers can tap into solar power generated in New York State without installing panels through community solar.
