The contribution of solar-plus-
storage projects is small but
increasing in the New York
community solar market.
As of 2023 H1, 3.2% (28/870) of
operational community solar
projects in New York are paired with
storage. This represents 7.2%
(97/1352) of cumulative community
solar capacity in New York.
