With Con Edison, Westchester County homeowners have gotten used to paying a lot for their electricity &#8212; and can expect to pay a lot more in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re happy to tell you there is a way to lower your electricity costs. Between state and federal incentives, Westchester County is one of the best places in the US to save money by going solar. We\u2019ll have to dive a little deeper to understand just what to expect when you\u2019re looking to go solar in Westchester County.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3 Reasons New York Will Become the Best State for Solar Savings in 2023\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8WamQosyO9Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with an Energy Advisor to explore your solar options.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Solar Incentives in Westchester County, New York<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>The Federal Solar Tax Credit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/learn\/federal-solar-tax-credit-steps-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Investment Tax Credit<\/a> (ITC) is available to everyone in the country who purchases a solar system. As it stands, the tax credit has no cap and will reduce your system cost by 30%. For instance, if your system costs $20,000, your tax would be worth $6,000, bringing your net system cost to $14,000.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"width: 280px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;\" title=\"welcome-to-ny.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/welcome-to-ny.jpg\" alt=\"going solar in westchester county new york\" width=\"280\" height=\"804\" data-constrained=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To take the tax credit, you have to have a tax liability greater to or equal to 30% of your system cost. In other words, you can\u2019t claim the full tax credit if you don\u2019t pay at least that much in federal taxes. However, it can be rolled over and claimed in chunks over multiple tax years.<\/p>\n<p>Another caveat to this tax credit is that you must purchase your system, either with a cash purchase or a loan. If you go with a lease or a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), the installer will be the one taking the tax credit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The New York State Solar Tax Credit\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the federal tax credit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/learn\/going-solar-in-new-york-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York State<\/a> offers a tax credit of its own. The solar tax credit is worth 25% of the cost of your system with a cap of $5,000. Since you can claim both these tax credits together, there is a potential to have your system cost reduced by 55% if you don\u2019t meet the state cap.<\/p>\n<p>So, if your system cost $20,000, the 25% NY state tax credit would be worth $5,000, effectively bringing your net system cost to $15,000. Now, if your system cost $30,000, you would reach the cap since 25% of $30,000 is $7,500.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Homebuyer A<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Homebuyer B<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Gross system cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$20,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$30,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">NY state tax credit (25% with $5,000 cap)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$5,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$5,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Federal solar tax credit (30% with no cap)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$6,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$9,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Net system cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$9,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$16,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Amazingly, the incentives for buying solar panels in Westchester County don&#8217;t end with the tax credits. There is also a rebate that brings down the cost even further.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>NYSERDA Solar Rebates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting in 2014, NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) began offering solar rebates to customers in certain utilities and regions across New York. As luck would have it for Westchester residents, the rebates in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/ConEdison-dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Con Edison\u2019s coverage area are still active<\/a> as of February 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rebate is allocated in sequential segments, called blocks. Every block has a certain amount of installed KWs that can receive the rebate before it is considered full. Once a block is full, the rebate steps down to the next block. Right now, Con Edison is in its 9th and final block, worth 20 cents per Watt of solar capacity installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for a 10kW system &#8212; or 10,000 Watts &#8212; the NYSERDA rebate is currently worth $2,000 for Con Edison customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that this rebate is typically applied\u00a0<em>before\u00a0<\/em>claiming the state and federal tax credits, and therefore reduces their value.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Homebuyer A (5 kW system)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Homebuyer B (7.5 kW system)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Gross system cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$20,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$30,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">NYSERDA Rebate<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$1,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$1,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Contract price<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$19,000<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$28,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">NY state tax credit (25% with $5,000 cap)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$4,750<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$5,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Federal solar tax credit (30% with no cap)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$5,700<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">-$8,550<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">Net system cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$8,550<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">$14,950<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Homeowners in Westchester County have access to perhaps the most substantial solar incentives in the entire US. But the motivation to go solar doesn&#8217;t end there.

According to <a href=\"https:\/\/westchester.news12.com\/con-ed-westchester-residents-can-expect-a-27-increase-in-prices-this-winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News 12 Westchester<\/a>, &#8220;A Westchester County customer using 600 kilowatt hours a month will have an average bill of $203.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Factoring a basic $27 service charge, <em>t<\/em><em>hat boils down to 29 cents per kilowatt hour &#8212; <\/em>one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/regions\/midwest\/data\/averageenergyprices_selectedareas_table.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highest electricity rates in the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, going solar effectively reduces your cost per kWh for electricity to around 8 cents per kWh for 25 years.
