As of H1 2023, a cumulative total
of 1,352 MWac in community
solar projects were operational in
New York.
New York has ambitious plans for
community solar, with a planned
capacity exceeding 2,500 MWac.
The state's goal of achieving 10
GW in solar PV installations in
2030.
A significant driver behind the
increasing planned capacity for
community solar projects.
