Solar Incentive Programs in New York.

New York’s solar incentives and rebates are among the most generous in the country — making it easier and more affordable than ever to go solar.

INCENTIVE DETAILS
New York State Income Tax Credit
NY State residents are eligible for a 25% tax credit (up to $5,000).
NY State Sales Tax
The 4% sales tax is waived for solar energy equipment and installation services.
NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement
Meant to encourage the adoption of solar energy throughout the city, the NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement covers 30% of your installation costs and reduces your property tax bill over 4 consecutive years.
NY State Solar Rebate
The NY-Sun Megawatt Block Rebate is run by NYSERDA. It divides the state into regions with designated megawatt allocations. The exact incentive amount depends on project size and location, and incentives are structured to phase out overtime. Only households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) remain eligible to receive $0.80/watt.
Net Metering
Residential customers are eligible to receive 1:1 bill credits – meaning your utility credits you for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of excess energy you send back to the grid.

Energo experts will walk you through every incentive and rebate you qualify for.

Plan Solar Around Your Home.

Planning roof work, considering battery storage or adding an EV charger? Energo can help you evaluate how solar fits into your home’s energy needs.

Roof Preparation

Before solar panels are installed, Energo evaluates your roof’s condition and identifies any preparation needed. We coordinate required roof work and electrical upgrades as part of your solar project, helping you understand what your home needs before your solar panel installation begins.






Battery Storage

Store electricity generated by your solar panels for use later in the day. Energo evaluates battery storage options for your home and helps determine whether the proposed system can support selected circuits during an outage, based on its overall capacity and configuration. Get started today to explore all options.






Home EV Charging

Planning to charge an electric vehicle at home? Energo evaluates solar and EV charging together, with licensed electricians reviewing your electrical capacity. We identify any panel upgrades or dedicated circuits needed so your charging setup is planned around your home and vehicle.






Why Go Solar?

Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity for your home. Whether rooftop solar is suitable depends on your roof’s condition, available space, sunlight exposure and electrical setup. Energo helps you understand your options and the work involved, from system design and permitting to installation.

  • Generate electricity from sunlight
  • Explore a system designed around your home’s electricity use
  • Coordinate roof preparation and electrical requirements
  • Get guidance from assessment through installation

Customized for Your Home.

No two homes are the same. We design systems based on:

  • Your energy usage
  • Roof size, layout, and sun exposure
  • Future energy needs (EVs, electrification, etc.)

Does Replacing Your Roof in NYC Require Solar?

It may. If you are replacing the entire existing roof deck or roof assembly on your NYC home, Local Law 92 and Local Law 94 may require a sustainable roofing zone. That zone can be satisfied with a solar PV system, a green roof, or a combination of both. Routine repairs and basic roof membrane work generally do not trigger the same requirement, but full roof replacement work should be reviewed before the project begins.

Many homeowners only learn about LL92 and LL94 after they have already started planning a roof replacement. That can make the process more complicated if solar was not considered early. When roof work and solar are evaluated together, homeowners can better understand what the law requires, how much usable roof area is available, and which incentives may apply to the project.

Energo evaluates each home for LL92/94 applicability during the solar site assessment. If your planned roof work triggers the requirement, we can help design a system that satisfies the law, supports your home’s energy goals, and qualifies for available NYC, state, and federal solar incentives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Solar in NYC

Answers to common questions about your home's suitability, installation requirements and next steps.

Is my NYC home suitable for rooftop solar?

Suitability depends on your roof's condition, available space, sunlight exposure and your home's electrical infrastructure. Shade from nearby buildings or trees can affect how much electricity a system produces. Energo evaluates these factors during a site assessment to help determine whether rooftop solar is appropriate for your property and what work may be needed before installation.

How is a residential solar system sized for my home?

Energo reviews your household's electricity use, usable roof area and shading to plan a system around your property's requirements. The proposed design includes an estimate of electricity production. Actual production varies with weather, seasonal conditions, equipment performance and maintenance.

Do I need permits for residential solar installation in NYC?

Yes. Solar panels connected to a building's electrical or structural systems require NYC Department of Buildings permits and inspections. Electrical installation work must be carried out by NYC-licensed electricians or workers under their supervision. Energo helps coordinate system design, permitting and installation requirements as part of the proposed project.

Will my home still be connected to the utility grid?

With a grid-connected solar system, your home remains connected to the utility. It can use electricity produced by the panels during daylight and draw electricity from the grid when solar production does not meet its needs, including at night. Utility interconnection requirements and approval must be addressed before the system is operated. Energo helps you understand the connection process for your property.

Can I install solar if I live in a co-op or condo in NYC?

Rooftop solar may be possible, but a shared roof means the project generally needs approval from the building's board or other governing body. Roof rights, building rules, structural conditions and the electrical setup all affect what can be installed. Energo can discuss a building-level assessment with your board or property manager to review the options and requirements.

What happens to my solar panels if I sell my home?

Rooftop solar equipment often remains with the property, but the sale process depends on system ownership and any associated agreements. Review your installation documents, ownership terms and equipment warranties before listing the home. Any transfer requirements should be checked with the relevant provider and your real estate or legal adviser. Warranty transferability depends on the applicable terms and should be confirmed rather than assumed.

Does my roof need to be in good condition before installing solar?

Yes. The roof must be structurally suitable for the proposed installation, and its condition should be reviewed before panels are fitted. Energo evaluates the roof as part of the site assessment and identifies whether roof preparation, repairs or other work may be needed. Any required roof work should be addressed in the project plan before installation begins.
