Ny solar pv guide
1. New York Solar PV Guide
Solar technology, financing programs, and everything you need to know
to drive your investment decision
2. New York has one of the highest electric cost / kWh in the continental U.S.
– $0.154 / kWh average for all sectors in New York versus $0.112 / kWh for PV
Solar technologies are established & continue to be improved upon
– Cost of entire system is on decline, efficiencies are increasing
NY-Sun Initiative committed ~$1 Billion in 2014 for new installs
– Grants, Incentives, and Financing programs allow for more accessibility to solar
– As more Megawatts of solar are installed, each new install will receive
savings per watt installed (Megawatt Block Incentive)
• The sooner you decide to install, the more upfront savings you will realize
Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Communities, Government, and
Installers / Contractors can all benefit from solar
– Installs of ≤ 200 Kilowatt will typically have ~20-30% of
upfront costs covered
PACE financing and other groups can finance for $0 upfront
cost to building owner

3. Solar PV systems absorb sunlight, convert energy from
the sun into electricity
– Can be installed on roofs or ground
– Most efficient when panels are South facing
– Will still absorb in winter months and cloudy days
Inverter changes power from DC to AC
Connects to utility electric meter and the grid
Smart technologies can give real time readouts,
change angle of panels for maximum absorption per
day, season, etc.
– Will increase upfront and maintenance costs

4. Stabilized electric costs
– Reduced reliance on grid at daily peak energy times,
saving money
Reduction in CO2 emissions
Can sell back unused electricity to grid (via Net
Metering)
20-25 year lifespan
Typical return on investment (ROI) of < 10 years
Eligible for federal & state tax credits
Property value increase (rule of thumb is 20x one years
savings)
Near negligible maintenance cost
Can provide power during blackouts when combined
with storage system
1,000 Watts = 1 Kilowatt (KW)
~ $4,000 - $6,000 / KW for install depending on
location ($7,000 - $10,000 in NYC)
– Westchester County currently at ~ $5,500 / KW
~ 1 KW of Solar PV / 100 ft2
1 KW PV produces ~ 1,250 kWh / year (based off
existing installs in New York)
Optimal stationary angle of panels in New York is ~ 41◦
from horizontal

5. Highest upfront cost to
customer
Takes full advantage of tax
credits & incentives to
reduce upfront cost
Remaining upfront cost
can be financed through
NY-Sun Incentive Program
Maintenance costs fall on
customer (typically
negligible)
‘Rent’ Solar PV system
from Solar company with
monthly cost
Little to no upfront cost to
customer

system
Leasing a Solar PV systemOwning a Solar PV system
Installer pays for install,
maintenance, and system
Contract between
customer and installer to
sell electricity to customer
at price lower than utility
price
Little to no upfront cost to
customer
~20 year contract typically
with production
guarantees
