NYSERDA Program Increases Solar Access for Low- to Moderate-Income Residents
New Affordable Solar program doubles state incentives to further reduce costs
ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has introduced its new Affordable Solar program to increase access to solar for low- to moderate-income homeowners.
Affordable Solar doubles the incentives for each solar project installed at the home of a low- to moderate-income resident. The double incentives are available for residential solar projects for households earning less than 80 percent of the area or state median income, who often lack access to sufficient up-front capital to purchase a solar installation.
