About Solar Panels

New York State is helping homeowners and business owners

 harvest the sun through solar panels for clean, reliable, and cheap energy.

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels work via the Photovoltaic effect, in which photons released from the sun knock loose electrons from their atoms in solar cells. These loose electrons then flow through positive and negative conductors attached to the solar cells, creating an electrical current.

New York Solar Incentives

New York’s solar tax credit can cover 25% of qualifying expenditures, up to $5,000, at your principal residence. It is nonrefundable, with up to five years to carry forward unused credit. For purchased equipment, installation and use matter—not just the purchase date. The federal homeowner credit is unavailable for new systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Explore separate battery incentives and your home’s eligibility.

New York Net Metering

In a traditional New York Net Metering model, your solar panel system will be connected to the grid via your utility meter. At any given point if your home uses more electricity than your solar system produces, your home’s electricity will be supplemented from the grid. However, if your solar system produces more electricity than what is being used, that electricity will be sent to the grid and you will receive a credit with your utility company that offsets future withdraws from the grid.
