Why 2022 Is The Best Year To Go Solar

If you were waiting to go solar, this is it. •Solar incentives have not been this lucrative in over 7 years. •Customers who go solar in 2022 can expect to save an additional $1,400 on average.

How Is This The Year?

The solar industry has always been a one string banjo, “this is the year to go solar” & “incentives have never been higher.” The good news for you is it’s fi nally true.

The turn of the new year saw the announcement of Governor Hochul’s plan to power an additional 700,000 New York homes with solar by 2030. The incentives to accomplish this goal haven’t been seen in 7 years.

With the governor’s announcement came the opening of a new New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) block grant, a grant which previously gave $.35 per watt now gives $.50 per watt. The average solar customer can expect to save close to $1,425 more when they buy in 2022 vs 2021. This block grant once fully utilized will drop a tier, rewarding less money per watt ($.35 per watt to be specifi c). This means this incentive is fi rst come fi rst served, those who move fast will be rewarded more money. most likely never be ever again as renewable energy becomes more mainstream. New York State is widely considered to be the best state to go solar by national sources. This is due to the plethora of solar incentives and legislation supporting solar. New York has:

•Statewide net metering •Statewide rebate program 25% of total cost up to $5,000 • The NYSERDA Block Grant $.50 per watt •Property & Sales Tax Exemption
