THE TIME IS NOW! ZERO DOWN SOLAR POWER.
New York
Richmond County (Staten Island) is ideal for solar. With abundant incentive programs like New York’s evolving net-metering structure, now’s the time to switch. Staten Island sees solid sunshine year-round, making solar cost-effective for homes and businesses. Enjoy lower energy bills, energy independence, and greener living. Sea Bright Solar, a 20‑year Staten Island staple, will guide you through everything—from financing and rebates to maintenance—making solar stress-free and rewarding.
Incentives
State, and local governments understand the importance of sustainable energy and the high costs associated with traditional power sources. Utility companies can’t afford to maintain their infrastructure costs as homes use more and more power. That’s why, in most cases, incentives can save customers on the cost of energy.*
*Ask your representative about which incentive you’re eligible to receive.
State Incentives
New York State Tax Credit—25%
New York State offers homeowners a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that a person claiming the credit would otherwise pay. The state tax credit is based on 25% of solar’s cost to the homeowner, limited to $5,000. If you can’t claim the credit in the first year, don’t worry; it will roll over for 5 years!
NYSERDA—Financing / $0.20 per kilowatt
Through the NY-Sun Program, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) provides financing options and financial incentives for the installation of new grid-connected solar systems.
In New York & New Jersey City, a cash grant from NYSERDA of 20¢ per watt lowers the elevated cost of installing solar. The installation of a 7kW solar system could earn a $1,400 deposit from the state! This incentive, once $1.00 per watt, will continue to decrease as more people install solar systems. Sea Bright Solar collects this grant from NYSERDA directly, reducing your cost to install solar.
