Description
The NY-Sun Residential/Nonresidential Incentive Program, administered by NYSERDA, supports the installation of new grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems at both residential and nonresidential sites throughout New York State. The program aims to accelerate solar adoption and reduce the upfront cost of PV systems by providing cash incentives to contractors and builders, who must pass these incentives on to customers. The initiative is part of New York’s broader clean energy and climate goals, supporting the expansion of solar capacity statewide through incentives funded by the Clean Energy Fund and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
