If you’ve been thinking about switching to solar energy, here’s some big news you won’t want to miss. NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) has just opened a new round of residential solar incentives—which means you still have an opportunity to save on your solar investment! Here's what you need to know.
While going solar in the winter may seem like a crazy idea, it is actually the best time to go solar! By signing a contract in the earliest months of the year, your system will be installed and switched on during the spring and summer months when there is the highest amount of energy-producing sunlight. Here's how solar works in winter, and why it's a great time to get installed!

Solar incentives for affordable housing developers have never been better. With significant funding opportunities from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and net-zero building incentives and programs through NYSERDA, now is the perfect time for developers to transition to clean energy.
The impact of climate change continues to challenge rural and agricultural businesses, but the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) offers a significant opportunity to embrace renewable energy while reducing costs. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and other federal and state incentives, eligible businesses can save up to 85% of the project costs for installing solar energy systems.

Sometimes, a residential or commercial roof is unsuitable for solar due to its orientation, size, age, or pitch. In other cases, commercial or residential properties also lack the space to install a ground-mounted array. So, how can we collectively do our part to support our planet and communities when not all corporations or property owners can switch to solar? Leasing land to solar companies is one solution that supports our community members, propels us towards meeting New York State's ambitious climate goals, and also benefits land owners.
Catalyze, a fully integrated developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) of distributed renewable energy assets, today announced that it selected GreenSpark Solar, a leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company headquartered in Rochester, NY to construct 10 projects, totaling 60 MW.
