New York State Credits Can Help You Get Solar for Your Home

The State of New York continues to deploy more solar solutions that can offset climate change. In some areas, solar power has been integrated into the municipality. In White Plains, New York, the local government has deployed a 6.8MW community solar project that is generating more than $20 million for the city, while reducing the cost of electricity for nearby homes and businesses. On Long Island, rooftop solar makes more sense than community projects, and with New York State credits, you can get significant refunds for your investment.

You Won’t be Left Behind with Solar Power on Long Island

Community solar is one potential solution to offset carbon emissions. Community projects allow for energy to be distributed to nearby homes, reducing reliance on larger and inefficient power generation facilities.

Community solar can reduce the cost of energy for homes, but it can’t be considered an investment like rooftop solar power on Long Island can.

White Plains financed its community project and is now seeing the benefits. But homeowners won’t enjoy the revenue created by the system. This is because community solar is centralized and then distributed. Families can sign up for the project and purchase electricity, but they don’t have complete control over the solution.

Rooftop solar power on Long Island means that you’ll have the generation occurring at your home. You can even export the energy that you generate and receive credits on your utility account. Net Metering ensures that solar is cost-efficient over time. New York State solar credits make it easier to pay for the initial investment.
