New York State’s solar program (NY-Sun) can help support community members organizing Solarize campaigns. There are two types of Solarize campaigns: rooftop solar and community solar.
Solarize campaigns help homes and businesses in the same area go solar together through locally organized community outreach. Working side by side, Solarize members can negotiate rates collectively, select an installer competitively, and decrease up-front costs associated with going solar. Solarize campaigns have helped hundreds of households and businesses access clean, locally produced power throughout the State.–NYSERDA
Rooftop Solarize Campaigns
These Solarize campaigns raise awareness and advocate for homes and businesses within a specific area to install solar panels on the roofs of their properties.
Community Solarize Campaigns
Community Solarize campaigns target residents and businesses, encouraging them to participate in community solar projects. This benefits individuals, families, and local businesses.
