Description
The NY‑Sun Residential/Nonresidential Incentive Program (PON 2112) provides cash incentives to qualified contractors and builders who install new, grid‑connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across New York State. Incentives are paid directly to the contractor on a first‑come, first‑served basis and are available until December 31 2030 or until program funds are exhausted. The program covers residential sites ≤ 25 kW, non‑residential sites ≤ 750 kW in Upstate & PSEG Long Island, and ≤ 7.5 MW in the Con‑Ed service area. Contractors must be pre‑approved, employ at least one credentialed installer (NABCEP, IBEW‑NECA, or UL), and meet prevailing‑wage requirements for projects ≥ 1 MW‑ac submitted after specified dates. Add‑on incentives are available for low‑to‑moderate‑income (LMI) residential projects, multifamily affordable housing, community solar, and storage‑paired systems.
• Eligibility: NY‑based contractors with a credentialed installer; project size limits (≤ 25 kW residential, ≤ 750 kW Upstate/PSEG, ≤ 7.5 MW Con‑Ed).
• Funding: Cash incentive ≈ 25‑35 % of installed system cost; rates vary by MW‑Block and are posted on the NYSERDA dashboard.
• Submission window: August 12 2010 – December 31 2030 3:00 PM ET; applications must be received (not merely submitted) by the deadline.
• Required documentation: Contractor registration, participation agreement, proof of installer credentials, project application package, and insurance.
• Add‑ers: LMI residential boost, storage‑pairing incentive (PSEG Long Island), Inclusive Community Solar Adder, Statewide Solar for All adder, and others.
