Thanks to community solar, Long Island residents can go solar without installing panels on their home or business. Across New York, community solar subscriptions are becoming more widely available, offering the benefits of solar to a wider range of energy consumers. For those who are unable to go solar because of property restrictions, shading, obstructions, cost, or any other factors, community solar is a new route to solar savings.
Community solar offers all the traditional benefits of a home or business solar installation, without the need to install panels on-site. Customers receive a credit on their utility bill each month, offsetting the total cost of the bill. This credit is proportional to the energy generated by the consumer’s subscribed portion of the community solar project.
For Long Island consumers, you must be a customer of LIPA/PSEG-LI. Then all you need to do is locate a community solar project within LIPA territory in order to subscribe and reap the benefits of solar energy.
YSG Solar will assist you in identifying the ideal community solar project for your specific energy needs. Once we have located a suitable project, YSG will walk you through the entire subscription process to ensure maximum savings. You will still receive energy from your utility company as usual, but you’ll also receive the energy credits which cut the cost of your utility bill.
