Solar for All offers participants free subscriptions to a community solar project. Like EmPower New York, there are no upfront costs, fees, or payments to participate. And as a past EmPower New York participant, the application process for Solar for All is easy for you. We can use information from EmPower New York.

Community solar projects are an array of solar panels installed in a sunny, offsite location, that generate electricity for your community. This program gives you the benefits of solar without installing panels on your home. Participation does not affect any existing electric bill credit or reduction you have.
