Despite a slow start since its inception, New York community solar has grown into a realistic, viable option for New York energy consumers and project developers alike. Now, community solar projects are beginning to pop up throughout the city and across the entire state of New York. Thanks to the work of organizations such as NYSERDA and NYSEIA, along with stakeholders, community solar projects are now operational and open for subscription.
This availability of community solar subscriptions comes at a great time for New York energy consumers. With the impact of COVID-19 and the current lockdown measures in place, a community solar subscription is a safe way to go solar and save with minimal social contact. You can get all the benefits of a solar panel installation on your home or business, without the upfront costs of installing the panels in the first place.
New York City has some of the highest utility rates in the country and these rates look set to continue rising in the coming years. On top of this, about 75% of homes are not capable of getting rooftop solar installed. This makes community solar the ideal avenue for bill payers to avoid these rising costs and save on utility bills.
