The incentives are real. Most people don’t claim all of them.
We make sure you capture every dollar you’re entitled to — before you spend a dime on installation.
Residential Incentives
For homeowners in NY, NJ, and CT
New York State Solar Tax Credit — Up to $5,000
A direct credit against your NY state income tax. Not a deduction — a credit. Most residential customers qualify for the full $5,000. Applied in the year your system is installed.
NYS Property Tax Exemption
Solar adds measurable value to your home. New York State law exempts that added value from property tax assessment. Your taxes stay flat while your home appreciates.
NYC 30% Property Tax Abatement
If you own a home or co-op in New York City, this abatement reduces your property taxes by 30% of the solar installation cost. It’s one of the most generous local solar incentives in the country — and most NYC homeowners don’t know it exists.
NYSERDA NY-Sun Program
Per-watt upfront incentives funded by the state’s NY-Sun initiative. Amounts vary by utility territory. Applied directly to your system cost — you see them in your proposal, not after the fact.
Net Metering — All Territories
Produce more electricity than you use? Your utility credits you for every excess kilowatt-hour. Those credits offset future bills. Your meter works for you, not just against you.
Commercial Incentives
For businesses, property owners, and nonprofits
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) — 30%
Commercial solar installations qualify for a 30% federal tax credit — dollar-for-dollar against your federal tax liability. On a $500,000 system, that’s $150,000 back. Applied in year one.
MACRS Accelerated Depreciation
Solar equipment is classified under MACRS 5-year property. Combined with bonus depreciation provisions, most commercial owners can depreciate the majority of system cost in year one.
NJ Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs)
New Jersey commercial customers earn SRECs for every megawatt-hour of solar power produced. SRECs are a separate revenue stream — sold to utilities meeting their renewable portfolio standards.
Net Metering — All Territories
Excess production earns utility credits. Offset peak-demand months with credits earned during high-production periods.
Financing & Leasing Options
There is no good reason to pay full utility rates while you figure out how to fund solar. We offer options that get you producing from day one.
Solar Loan — $0 Down
Finance your system with no money down. You own the system, you claim the incentives, and your monthly payment is typically less than what you’d have paid the utility. Competitive rates, flexible terms.
HVAC Financing
Finance your heat pump or electric HVAC system. Utility rebates are deducted upfront, reducing the financed amount before you make payment one.
Solar Lease
Low or $0 upfront. Predictable monthly payment lower than your current bill. Your lease includes:
- Annual filter replacements
- Annual IAQ media filter service
- Annual maintenance and system inspection
- Full warranty coverage — labor AND equipment
HVAC Lease
Get a new heat pump system with no large upfront cost. Same comprehensive lease benefits:
- Annual filter replacements
- Annual IAQ media filter service
- Annual maintenance and system inspection
- Full warranty coverage — labor AND equipment
PACE Financing
Property Assessed Clean Energy financing ties repayment to your property tax bill — not your credit score. Long terms, fixed rates, and the obligation transfers with the property if you sell.
Know your numbers before you decide anything.
We’ll map every incentive you qualify for and model the financing option that makes the most sense for your situation. Free. No commitment.
