Why New York is a "Gold Mine" for Solar in 2026
Most homeowners in New York are passively paying $0.24 to ConEd / PSEG. They are losing money every month. The "Supercycle" strategy for NY residents is simple:
- Step 1: Stop renting your power. Own it.
- Step 2: Install a battery to capture the NY-Sun + 25% Tax Credit (Value: $6,000 + Federal).
- Step 3: Sell power back to the grid during peak heat waves when rates spike.
Insider Tip:
ConEd / PSEG rates have historically risen by 4-6% annually. By locking in your hardware cost today (minus the 30% Federal Tax Credit), you are essentially freezing your energy bill for 25 years.
The NYC Solar Stack
New York City has some of the most aggressive solar incentives in the world. Between the NY-Sun Megawatt Block program and the 25% NY State Tax Credit (capped at $5,000), you can pay for 60% of your system with other people's money.
The "Zone J" Opportunity: NYC (Zone J) has massive grid congestion. The utility (ConEd) is paying premiums for battery storage to prevent blackouts during summer heatwaves.
