Through the program, the state government of New York offers businesses, both big and small. A variety of financial solutions for their commercial solar power projects. This allows the businesses to transition to PV technologyin an easier and more affordable way.

The main features of the program are as follows:

  • Rebates and tax credits on purchase of solar equipment.These incentives are covered under the Megawatt Block Solar Incentive and Solar Energy System Equipment Credit When combined, these incentives can produce more than $5,000 in savings for business owners on equipment expenditures.
  • Low-interestrate loans for the purchase of solar equipment. The program offers three types of loans to small business owners, including on-bill recovery loans, participation loansand property assessed clean energy (PACE) loans. Both on-bill and participation loans come with caps, while PACE loans offer affordable financing for up to 100% of the cost of the project.
  • Refunds on utility bills for the amount of solar electricity added to the grid. These refunds are calculated as per the state’s net metering policy, where business owners can leverage “unused” credits for a future rebatement.
