Solar Energy
Solar energy is abundant, non-polluting and does not contribute to global warming. Even in the northeastern United States, solar energy can make a significant contribution to meeting demands for electricity. The New York State Renewable Energy Task Force has recommended that New York increase its generation of electricity from photovoltaics eight-fold by 2011.
Solar Electric Incentive Program
Financial assistance for the installation of residential and commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems is available. The funds are administered by NYSERDA and cover about 40% to 50% of the installed cost. Applications are being accepted through September 30, 2009 or until funds are fully committed.
School Power...Naturally (SM)
School Power...Naturally(SM) is an innovative program from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) that is designed to educate New Yorkers about energy and, in particular, the role that solar electricity can play in providing clean energy for our homes, schools and workplaces.
