NY-Sun (NYSERDA)
NY-Sun continues to offer solar incentives whose value depends on location (for example, the Con Edison region), project size and sector. NYSERDA announced on October 14, 2026 a framework for $200 million in additional funding; program details are still being finalized. Residential and nonresidential applications are accepted through December 31, 2030 or until funds are fully committed.
