New York City Solar Incentives
NYC-specific programs, property tax abatements, and our expertise with flat roof installations and city permitting.
NYC-Specific Programs & Expertise
NYC Permitting
NYC has specific permitting requirements for solar installations. We handle all aspects of the permitting process, including DOB filings and inspections.
- DOB permit applications and filings
- Structural engineering certifications
- Electrical permit coordination
- Final inspection scheduling
Flat Roof Expertise
NYC's building stock includes many flat-roofed buildings that are excellent candidates for solar. We specialize in flat roof installations with proper ballasting and drainage considerations.
- No roof penetrations required for ballasted systems
- Optimal tilt angles for NYC latitude
- Compliance with NYC building codes
- Fire department access pathway requirements

NYC property owners can receive a property tax abatement equal to a percentage of the cost of solar installation. This abatement is spread over several years and can significantly reduce your property tax burden.
- Up to $62,500 or system cost, whichever is less
- Spread over 4 years (approximately 5% per year)
- Available for residential properties in NYC
- Stacks with state and federal incentives
