NY-Sun
New York's statewide solar incentive, a declining per-watt incentive delivered automatically through your installer rather than a homeowner application.
Last checked against the official source on 21 July 2026. Programs like this change yearly; the linked source below is the authority, not this page.
Con Edison territory Affordable Solar Residential Incentive (household income up to 80% of area median income): $0.80/W. Standard-block rate varies by region and declines over time — check your installer's current quote, since NYSERDA's live rate dashboard changes as blocks fill.
Administered by NYSERDA. Pays a declining-block, per-watt incentive built into your solar quote by a participating installer — there is no separate consumer application. Rates step down as each block of program capacity is claimed, and vary by region and income tier; an affordable-solar tier for lower-income households in Con Edison territory currently pays a materially higher per-watt rate than the standard block.
Eligibility
New York solar customer; the affordable tier requires household income at or below 80% of area median income.
How to apply
No separate application — a NY-Sun participating installer builds the incentive into your quote automatically.
