Solar Incentives Are Heating Up!

You may be eligible to receive incentives to help fund the installation cost of photovoltaic (PV) or solar-electric systems that are 5kW and smaller through the Solar-Electric System Incentive Program. While incentives are capped at 5kW, PV systems can be larger than 5 kilowatt (kW). As a point of reference, a 2kW PV system could provide about 20% to 30% of the energy needs of an average home.

Key Benefits

• Save 40-70% off the cost to purchase and install a solar-electric system by combining this program with other New York Energy $mart^SM programs.
  
• Automatically receive a full 5-year parts and labor warranty.
  
• If the system is 10 kW or smaller, excess electricity you generate may be “sold back” to the utility.
