New York offers net metering and one of the larger state solar tax credits in the country. Here is what to know before you plan.
UTILITIES
New York Electric Utilities
New York’s electric utilities include Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, Orange & Rockland and PSEG Long Island.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
Home solar in New York is net metered: extra power earns credits on your bill that roll over to future months.
Homes that connected solar on or after January 1, 2022 pay a monthly Customer Benefit Contribution based on system size. For 2026, utility rates for net-metered homes range from $0.97 to $1.67 per kW per month, and they change each year.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
A battery can keep essentials running in an outage and let you use more of your own solar power in the evening.
