Solar New York has helped many Americans dramatically lower their utility costs by switching to affordable solar electric. We work by matching you with top rated solar installers that services your local area. A specialist from each solar installer can then explain all of the cost saving initiatives that may be available to you – from government and New York specific solar rebates & incentives to the different solar panel financing and leasing programs, all of which can help offset some of the initial solar system installation costs. Designed to make acquiring a solar PV system more affordable, solar financing options that may be available include: solar loans, solar lease, power purchase agreement (PPA), and government funded options, like the Home Energy Renovation Opportunity (HERO) or Property-Assessed Clean Energy Programs (PACE).
New York Solar Power May Save You Money
Many New Yorkers don’t realize the amount of money spent on their home energy use each year. In the next 10 years, the average New York homeowner may spend over $13,000 on electricity1. Not to mention that electricity prices in New York increased over 10% on average in a 10-year period from February 2007 to February 2017. Smart homeowners are increasingly looking to renewable energy and investing in a home solar system today to help offset the rise in electricity rates.
Home Solar Financing
An average residential solar system can cost between $15,000-$29,000 for average sized systems sized between 4kW and 8kW2. Considering that you could possible spend up to $33,396.00 in electrical bills over the next 25 years, this can be a small price to pay for solar in New York3. However, for too many people, that still represents too large of an up front payment. The good news is that many of the solar providers we work with offer a variety of great solar financing and leasing options to help residents invest in solar power without having to come up with such a large up-front payment. In addition, low interest rates may be available for a solar home financing and installing solar panels can increase the value of your home as well. So even if you do not think you can afford the cost of solar up front, make sure you still talk to NY solar companies who can educate you on all available solar financing options.
New York Solar Rebates and Tax Incentives
One of the great facts about solar in New York is that there are a number of solar rebate and incentive programs, such as the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the Green Residential Building Program, that exist to make it easier to afford solar power for your home. The solar provider that you select will be up to date on all of the solar incentives and lease/finance options that may be available to you to help you save as much money as possible.
