Financial incentives are available for qualified customers who wish to install PV systems through applications submitted by an “Eligible Installer.” Eligible Installers are those who have demonstrated technical competence in the PV field and who have signed written agreements with NYSERDA to abide by certain PV Program terms and conditions. Incentives are paid directly to the Eligible Installer, but must be passed on in full to the customers. Eligible Installers are responsible for preparing and submitting all necessary incentive paperwork to NYSERDA. In general, incentives for a typical residential or commercial system cover approximately 25-35% of the installed cost of a PV Systems but not more than 40%, after all tax credits are applied.
